This is an example of how to use Turf for a scripting task with node. This technique lets you process bigger amounts of data than you could in a browser, and have node read and write files.
If you have node
installed, you also have a command called npm
installed:
this is what you use to download extra software for node
. This project has
some preset requirements, which are stored in package.json,
so if you open a terminal in the same folder as this project and run the command
$ npm install
Then the npm
command with automatically find, download, and install turf
to this directory.
Next, you should open index.js
, either locally or
on GitHub, read through the code comments to understand what it does.
When you feel comfortable with your understanding of the process, run it:
$ node index.js
