Installing Mapnik on Arch Linux

Mapnik 2 from Git

Mapnik 2 must be built from source. A package description is available in the Arch User Repository for easy building with ABS: mapnik-git (this will compile the latest development version from the Git master branch).

If you use Yaourt or a similar AUR helper, just install the 'mapnik-git' package:

$ yaourt -S mapnik-git

This will handle downloading, building and installing Mapnik with dependencies from the 'extra' and 'community' repositories.

0.7.x (Deprecated version)

Mapnik 0.7.1 is available from the Arch Community repository. Install it with Pacman:

$ sudo pacman -S mapnik
