## 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 for local use or development of Metamaps
|
|
|
|
First off is getting the code downloaded to your computer. You can download a zip file from github, but if you've got `git` you can just run `git clone https://github.com/metamaps/metamaps` in your terminal.
|
|
|
|
There are instructions for setup on various platforms, with particular support for Mac and Ubuntu, which can be found here:
|
|
- [Mac Install Walkthrough][mac-installation]
|
|
- [Ubuntu Install Walkthrough][ubuntu-installation]
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to isolate your install in a virtual machine, you may find it simpler to setup using Vagrant:
|
|
- [Vagrant installation][vagrant-installation]
|
|
|
|
We don't promise support for Windows, but at one point we had it running and we've kept those docs available for reference
