Hi All,

I would like to install OsmAnd on my PC. Please advise on how to do it?

https://download.osmand.net/latest-night-build/OsmAndMapCreator-main.zip

-

I unzip the file, click on the executable file but it is not working. What to do?

Thanks

Baber

For the avoidance of doubt, "OsmAndMapCreator" is used to create .obf
files for use with OsmAnd. It's not "OsmAnd" itself. Assuming that that
is what you actually want to run:

Without any information about what error you actually see, we will just
be guessing, but here goes anyway...

OsmAndMapCreator needs Java to run - have you got that installed?

As far as I remember, the standard Windows zip does not work correctly on OsmAndMapCreator-main.zip

Try using 7zip.

I filed a ticket for it some time ago. The build has now been corrected and all latest-might-builds do unzip correctly in every zip program.

But you do need java on the pc.
