Osmosis App Download For Windows

[Oliverio Gallman]

Youneed Java (specifically Java Runtime Environment) to be able to run osmosis. If you don't have it (check here if you're not sure), you can download JRE from java.com/en/download. After the download completes, double-click the downloaded installer and follow the instructions.

Unzip the downloaded file. You don't need the outer directory (osmosis-latest), and you may find it simpler to remove the version number from the next-level directory. Put the directory somewhere appropriate (eg C:\Program Files (x86)\)

You can run this by double-clicking on the file, but you may well find that the window closes before you can see what's happened. In which case, create a shortcut to the file, open its Properties, and on the Shortcut tab insert cmd /k at the beginning of the Target. This runs it in a window that stays open.

Osmosis is a command line Java application for processing OSM data. The tool consists of pluggable components that can be chained to perform a larger operation. For example, it has components for reading/writing databases and files, deriving/applying changes to data sources, and sorting data, (etc.). It has been written to easily add new features without re-writing common tasks such as file and database handling.

Osmosis is in a state where the majority of the codebase is unlikely to change drastically. New functionality will be introduced over time in the form of new tasks and plugins but existing functionality is unlikely to be removed. All bug reports welcome.

The above examples make use of the default pipe connection feature, however a simple read and write planet file command line could be written in two ways. The first example uses default pipe connection, the second explicitly connects the two components using a pipe named "mypipe". The default pipe connection will always work so long as each task is specified in the correct order. Each task pushes its output stream(s) onto a stack, and each task that requires input stream(s) takes them from the stack. This stack-based approach is the reason why the above "--apply-change" example first reads the change file, then the data file - the --apply-change task will then first retrieve the data file from the stack and then the change file.

Note that --way-key-value and --node-key-value cannot be used in one run. Instead, create two (or more) files in several runs and merge them together afterwards (yes, for n files you need n-1 merge commands):

What if you want restaurants in a particular town or country ? Since restaurants can be mapped as nodes and ways, you'll have to run 3 commands: One to extract the nodes tagged as amenity=restaurant, one to extract the ways tagged amenity=restaurant, and third command will merge them together:

One of the basic use cases is extracting a subset of OSM XML from a large downloaded file. You might have downloaded the world OSM (planet.osm) and want to extract some region, or maybe you have a country extract downloaded but only want one city. The simplest way to do that is by extracting a rectangle.

Details on osmosis development are available at Osmosis/Development. Visit there for documentation on the internal structure of osmosis, design decisions, steps to configuring development environments, etc.

The minimum supported Java version is 1.6. Osmosis makes use of some java.awt.geom classes that only appeared in 1.6, if these are re-written to use 1.5 functionality it may be possible to return to the previous minimum of 1.5. Osmosis utilises generics and java.util.concurrent features requiring Java 1.5 as a minimum.

The built-in bzip2 (.bz2) performance is much slower than the gzip (.gz) built-in Java one (Java gzip utilizes native code to improve performance). However, the trade off is that bzip2 creates much smaller compressed files. Also recent planet downloads use features of bzip2 which are not supported by the built-in bzip2 library (streams). For working with these, and for faster processing of any larger files, it is suggested to use your platform's native bzip2 implementations and read and write files from /dev/stdin and /dev/stdout respectively.

When I check if osmosis is working through executing it in cmd, it doesnt work: c:\osmosis\bin\osmosis or directly from c:\ --> "Java" is not recognize as internal or external command, programm or ...

You were right. I dont know why but my java worked for several programms but not at the command prompt. Ive updated the java versin and now It works everywhere although I have to close-open the command prompt window after each command because it seems only to allow one command each time.I think I could overcome this little problem.

I always used osmosis in Linux, but some time ago I tried to install it in a Windows 8.1 system, so I used this awesome tutorial that is step by step tutorial and I really hadn't trouble with the installation.

Osmosis is a powerful command-line tool for manipulating and processing raw .osm data. It is often used for processing large data files, for splitting OSM files into smaller pieces, and for applying a changeset to update an existing file.

There are a great many functions available with Osmosis, and you can read about each in detail on the Wiki. However many of the functions are quite complex and difficult to understand, particularly if you are just getting started with command-line programs and OpenStreetMap. This chapter will serve to introduce Osmosis, install it on Windows, and get started with a basic Osmosis command.

Like osm2pgsql in the previous chapter, we will need to download and set up osmosis so that we can run it from the command line. The process for this will be very similar to osm2pgsql.

Add a semicolon to the end of the previous directory and then type in the full directory path of osmosis. For example, if you put the osmosis-latest folder directly in the C:\ directory the path would be:

Try running this command in the command prompt. When it finishes, you should see a new file in your directory, called schools.osm. If we open the new file in JOSM, we can see that only the schools have been filtered out from the sample file.

One useful task is being able to divide a big raw OSM file into separate parts, either by supplying rectangles or by creating bounding polygon files. You can get a basic grounding in this process at the Osmosis Examples page.

I want to import OSM data into a PostGIS database running under windows. After a web search I learned that I should use osmosis. But most of the explanations are for Linux. But I have to use windows. Is there a detailed description how to do that with Windows?

Osmosis is the swiss-knife for OSM data and therefore a great piece of software to handle OSM data. I'd recommend to follow the steps below to succesfully import OSM data into a PostGIS database in a windows environment:

We always strive to meet and exceed the wishes and demands of our clients when developing a Building Maintenance Unit (BMU). This results in incredibly innovative and unique machines being created by our skilled engineering team and installed on the most iconic structures all over the world. In this article, we want to discuss a special feature that can be installed on BMUs and significantly reduces the time for window cleaners to clean a glass facade: a reverse osmosis system. Before we provide an answer to that question, we will first explain what Osmosis is.

Osmosis is a process where a solution (in this case water) that is less concentrated (with salt and other particles) has the natural tendency to migrate to a solution with a higher concentration, when separated by a semi-permeable membrane (figure 1). A semi-permeable membrane is basically a filter that allows certain atoms to pass, while others are stopped by it.

To clarify this some more: if you would place two tanks of water next to each other (one with a low concentration of salt and one with a high concentration of salt), separated by a semi-permeable membrane, the less salty water would start to migrate to the salty water tank.

As the name suggests, Reverse Osmosis (RO) is the opposite of osmosis: migrating concentrated water to less concentrated water through a membrane. Because this is not a natural process, energy is needed to force the concentrated water through the membrane.

As can be seen in figure 2, pressure is applied, forcing the concentrated water through the semi-permeable membrane. When water travels through the membrane, it filters out salts, organics, bacteria and other contaminants.

The most important advantage is that RO-water is residue-free, meaning that the surface dries spot-free and no squeegee or sponge is needed. This saves valuable time for the window cleaners, as they only have to brush the window with a water-fed pole and rinse it by pulling back the brush. Because less actions are needed, cleaning a window may be done up to 50% faster! Also, the surface stays clean for a longer period of time. Because window washers work faster and the frequency of cleaning windows is lower when RO-water is used, the costs for window cleaning are reduced significantly.

Another advantage is that no chemicals or cleaning products are needed. The purer the water is, the more aggressive it gets. RO-water breaks the bond between the dirt and the window on ionic level, making it easy to rinse the dirt off, making this an environmental friendly way of cleaning as well. Also in high-rise construction, architects and contractors strive to work as environmental friendly as possible. Reverse Osmosis perfectly fits this trend.

You can imagine that the characteristics of RO-water are of great value, economically as well as environmentally, when a large surface needs to be cleaned regularly. Like the glass facade of a skyscraper for example.
