## What is Metamaps?
Metamaps is a free and open-source technology for changemakers, innovators, educators and students. It enables individuals and communities to build and visualize their shared knowledge and unlock their collective intelligence.
You can find a version of this software running at [metamaps.cc][site-beta], where the technology is being tested in an open beta.
Metamaps is developed and maintained by a distributed, nomadic community comprised of technologists, artists and storytellers. You can get in touch by using whichever of these channels you prefer:

## Installation
2015-01-23 03:56:36 +00:00
If you are on Mac or Ubuntu you can use the following instructions to quickly get a local copy of metamaps up and running using a Vagrant virtualbox. Don't be intimidated, it's easy!
```
2016-04-13 02:16:54 +00:00
git clone git@github.com:metamaps/metamaps.git
2015-01-23 03:56:36 +00:00
```
Now ensure you have VirtualBox and Vagrant installed on your computer
```
2016-04-13 02:16:54 +00:00
cd metamaps
2016-02-05 10:12:25 +00:00
./bin/configure.sh
2015-01-23 03:56:36 +00:00
```
This will do all the setup steps to make Metamaps work with a bit of behind the scenes ninja magick.
To start servers which will run metamaps you can then run:
```
./bin/start
```
To stop them:
```
./bin/stop
```

With your webservers running, open a web browser and go to `http://localhost:3000`
2015-01-23 03:56:36 +00:00
You can sign in with the default account
email: `user@user.com`
password: `toolsplusconsciousness`
OR create a new account at `/join`, and use access code `qwertyui`
Start mapping and programming!
We haven't set up instructions for using Vagrant on Windows, but there are instructions for a manual setup here:
