Optional

• A CGI-capable web server (to run the web interface)

Installation

1. Clone this repository into an empty directory:

   git clone https://github.com/joodicator/mcmapimg
   cd mcmapimg
   

Usage

There are three ways to use this tool:

1. Run mcmapimg.py as a command-line program. See the output of:

   ./mcmapimg.py --help
   

2. Using the web interface: make accessible by a web server index.htm and map.cgi - the latter of which is an executable Python script and should be run as a CGI program by the web server - for example, under http://localhost/mcmapimg; then navigate to this URL and follow the instructions there.

3. As a library directly from Python:

   python
   >>> import mcmapimg
   >>> help(mcmapimg)
