unable to locate sqlite folder

[billypap1]

Hello, I have installed pelias but I have an issue importing OSM data. The steps that I followed are below: pelias compose pull pelias elastic start pelias elastic wait pelias elastic create pelias download osm pelias prepare all pelias import osm -> FAILED pelias compose up

when I tried -> pelias import osm I get this error:

/code/pelias/openstreetmap/node_modules/pelias-wof-admin-lookup/src/localPipResolver.js:19
      throw err;
      ^
unable to locate sqlite folder
(Use `node --trace-uncaught ...` to show where the exception was thrown)

I must use OSM data because wof has data from EU and it needs a license to work with.

Hi @billypap1,

WOF data is required for Pelias to function, so you need to throw a pelias download wof in there near the pelias download osm.

Can you speak more about the license requirements from the EU for WOF? I'm not sure what that could refer to. As far as we know WOF data is quite liberally licensed and can be used almost anywhere.

Hi @orangejulius. In the license section of WOF there is a notice -> "EuroGeoGraphics data copyright is held by European National Mapping Agencies." -> https://github.com/foursquare/quattroshapes/blob/master/LICENSE.md . If you go to EuroGeoGraphics's website, in section about the license, it has a fee in order to use it -> https://eurogeographics.org/maps-for-europe/licensing/

Hi @billypap1, there are several different products, I believe 'Open Maps For Europe' was the data imported and therefore isn't covered by the license you linked?

It's intended that the WhosOnFirst dataset only contains CC-0, CC-BY or equivalent data, this is enforced by the team when they accept contributions.

@missinglink So can I use it without any licensing issue? The 'Open Maps For Europe' has not CC-0 or CC-BY License, they have a private license as you can check here -> https://www.mapsforeurope.org/terms-conditions

I'm not a lawyer and can't provide legal advice, but I don't see any evidence from what you've said that you'd have to pay license fees for using the Open Maps for Europe dataset.

The original import was back in 2006, it's very likely that the product nomenclature has changed since then.

If you'd like more information about any of the whosonfirst licenses you're better off asking them directly on their issue tracker: https://github.com/whosonfirst-data/whosonfirst-data
