The easiest way to run tileserver-mapnik is using the precompiled docker container (https://hub.docker.com/r/klokantech/tileserver-mapnik/).

Detailed instructions how to use the tileserver-mapnik with docker: http://osm2vectortiles.org/docs/serve-raster-tiles-docker

Without docker

Follow the commands in Dockerfile to install the necessary packages, download common fonts and prepare the environment.

Usage: node bin/tessera.js [options]

Options:

• -c CONFIG - Configuration file
• -p PORT - HTTP port [8080]
• -C SIZE - Cache size in MB [10]
• -S SIZE - Source cache size (in # of sources) [10]

Example configuration file

{
  "/style1": {
    "source": "tmstyle://./style1.tm2"
  },
  "/style2": {
    "source": "tmstyle:///home/user/style2.tm2"
  },
  "/vector": {
    "source": "mbtiles:///home/user/data.mbtiles"
  }
}

Note: For tm2 styles, you need to make sure the content of style's project.yml (its source property) points to a valid mbtiles file (e.g. source: "mbtiles://./data.mbtiles").
