HURUmap

HURUmap is an interactive web platform that allows citizens and journalists to explore, visualise, and download census data. This gives them the power to give context to stories that was otherwise hard to spot. Accessible at https://hurumap.org

Goals

Instead of re-inventing the wheel, HURUmap relies on the excellent Wazimap and Census Reporter projects and aims to do the following:

1. Extend the features available e.g download SVG / PNG
2. Provide a platform of shared data - tables and geographies (using mapit) that can be re-used with the different apps
3. Provide shared styling, design, attribution, and other engagement content preferences

Usage

1. Install the package

   pip install -e git+https://github.com/CodeForAfrica/HURUmap.git@master#egg=hurumap
   
   

2. Add the app to installed apps

       INSTALLED_APPS = [
           ...,
           'hurumap'
       ]
   

3. Add these to your settings.py

4. Run migrations

       python manage.py migrate
   

5. Create an admin user to access the CMS

      python manage.py createsuperuser

6. Read the full Wazimap documentation to get started.
