Setup (Instructions for Mac)

1. Install Homebrew (https://brew.sh/) if you don't have it.
2. Make sure you have Java 8 installed: java -version If not, install it: brew tap caskroom/versions && brew cask install java8
3. Install yarn and Node (4<= version <=9). You can use NVM to manage your Node versions. brew install yarn nvm install --lts

Start the router

The router is our fork of Conveyal's R5 transit router. This lives at sidewalklabs/totx-r5.

Clone the repo and check out the totx-r5 branch.

git clone https://github.com/sidewalklabs/totx-r5.git
git checkout totx-r5

Then run:

mvn package
java -Xmx8g -classpath ./target/r5build.jar com.conveyal.r5.R5Main point --build ./totx_transit_data one-to-many toronto-das.locations.txt
java -Xmx8g -classpath ./target/r5build.jar com.conveyal.r5.R5Main point --graphs ./totx_transit_data one-to-many toronto-das.locations.txt

You should see something like:

9200 [Thread-1] INFO org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server - Started @9326ms
