## 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
|
|
|
|
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!
|
|
```
|
|
git clone git@github.com:metamaps/metamaps.git
|
|
```
|
|
Now ensure you have VirtualBox and Vagrant installed on your computer
|
|
```
|
|
cd metamaps
|
|
./bin/configure.sh
|
|
```
|
|
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`
|
|
|
|
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:
