Prerequisites for Linux

The prerequisites: Python (2.6 - 2.7), GDAL's Python bindings (python-gdal), Python imaging library (PIL), GDAL binaries (gdal-bin 1.7+) and, optionally, pngnq utility.

You may need to upgrade GDAL binaries to version 1.7+. For some Ubuntu distributions you may get it from the Ubuntu GIS Repository (see http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki/UbuntuGISRepository ):

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable

or for stable PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa

For other distributions, perhaps it's worth checking http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadingGdalBinaries.

Then take tilers-tools from the Downloads page and put them into some directory. Make sure tilers-tools directory is included into the PATH environment variable.

Now proceed to the workflow overview
