To run Shell locally, your machine must have the Java Development Kit, version 8+ installed. To check if you have JDK installed, open Terminal or cmd.exe and run this command. 

Linux/Mac/Windows

java -version

If you receive a version number back - you have installed JDK already and you can skip to the next step.

...

After you have successfully installed JDK, download the Shell executable file from this page. Navigate to the folder where you've downloaded the Shell, and run it using a script distributed with the executable .jar file. The script must be located in the same folder as the .jar file.

Linux/Mac

Windows

cd <path>

bash can_shell.sh

cd <path>

can_shell.bat

Where <path> is the path to the folder where you've downloaded Shell to.

Alternatively, run it directly using the java command:

Linux/Mac/Windows

cd <path>

java -jar ./can-shell-1.5.3-RELEASE-exec.jar

Where the actual name of the jar (can-shell-1.5.3-RELEASE-exec.jar) may be different - depends on the version you've downloaded.

...

Then run Shell and use the setup command to setup your access token.

Linux/Mac/Windows

setup --accessToken XbkadJ2ZcUd5_gRi5AjJoKwy3w6Jp5ctBacCCfhUbxQ

Your credentials and config files will be stored in your home folder in the .cleverMaps directory.

Info

Are you connecting through a proxy server? Set your proxy config using: setup --proxyHost proxy.example.com --password proxyPort 3128

Log in using credentials (deprecated)

Info

Please note that if you created a CleverMaps account using social login (Facebook, Google) you will not be able to use the same credentials you use for these services. In this case, you will have to generate an access token. See the previous section.

To log in using credentials, run Shell and use the setup command to setup your email and password.

...

Linux/Mac

...

setup --email john@example.com --password SECRET_PW --dumpDirectory /home/john/CleverMaps

...

Windows

...

setup --email john@example.com --password SECRET_PW --dumpDirectory C:\Users\john\CleverMaps

Docker installation

To run Shell in Docker, your machine must have the Docker container platform installed and running. You can get Docker here.

This image runs the lightweight Alpine Linux and already contains the Java Development Kit. It's always distributed with the latest version of Shell.

Linux/Mac

docker run --rm --name cm-shell --pull always --volume /tmp/dumps:/work:z --env CM_ACCESS_TOKEN=8HZP...WE -ti clevermaps/shell:latest

Windows

docker run --rm --name cm-shell --pull always --volume C:\dumps:/work:z --env CM_ACCESS_TOKEN=8HZP...WE -ti clevermaps/shell:latest

Where:

  • --rm tells Docker to not persist the container for later use

  • --name specifies the name of the container

  • --pull a newest version of image if available

  • --volume bind mounts a volume, where /tmp/dumps is the local directory the image will use, and /work is the path inside of the container

    • all dumped metadata and data will be located here (though Shell will indicate that the files were dumped to the /work directory)

    • you can specify whatever path you want, e.g.: C:\dumps on Windows

  • --env specifies the environment variables with credentials. Docker image accepts following environment variables:

    • CM_ACCESS_TOKEN - user access token for authentificationauthentication

    • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID - AWS access key (required only for loading CSV files from AWS S3)

    • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - AWS secret key (required only for loading CSV files from AWS S3)

  • -ti allocates a terminal so you can directly interact with the container, and also keeps the standard input open

  • clevermaps/shell:latest is the name of the latest image

Info

Info for Linux/Mac OS

Depending on your Docker system configuration, you may be required to preface the docker run command with sudo.

In that case, all files saved to the directory you specified in --volume have to be edited by the root user. Make sure you run your text editor under root user as well, or change the dump directory file permissions accordingly, e.g.: by using sudo chmod -R 777 /tmp/dumps/.
