## Mapnik Dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mapnik requires the Boost libraries, International Components for Unicode (ICU), Freetype, Proj4, and a variety of image libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing Boost is often new to mapnik users, but the majority of remaining dependencies are more familiar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have previously built or installed other open source graphics or mapping applications it is likely that many of the remaining dependencies are already installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes on installing Mapnik dependencies are included within each [MapnikInstallation platform specific instructions].
