citygml-tools can be run on any platform providing appropriate Java support.
citygml-tools is not just a CLI program. Most operations are also available as separate JAR libraries. Simply put the library file from the lib folder on your classpath to use the operation in your citygml4j project. The citygml-tools-common-<version>.jar library renders a mandatory dependency for all operations.
The libraries are also available as Maven artifacts from the Maven Central Repository and from JCenter. For example, to add the global-app-mover library for removing global appearances to your project with Maven, add the following code to your pom.xml. You may need to adapt the global-app-mover version number.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.citygml4j.tools</groupId>
<artifactId>global-app-mover</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>Here is how you use global-app-mover with your Gradle project:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.citygml4j.tools:global-app-mover:1.1.0'
}Note that all operations, which are not available as separate JAR library, just require a few lines of code with citygml4j. Check out the source code to see how they are implemented.
citygml-tools uses Gradle as build system. To build the program from source, clone the repository to your local machine and run the following command from the root of the repository.
> gradlew installDist
The script automatically downloads all required dependencies for building and running citygml-tools. So make sure you are connected to the internet. The build process runs on all major operating systems and only requires a Java 8 JDK or higher to run.
If the build was successful, you will find the citygml-tools package under citygml-tools/build/install.
