Getting started

1. Clone cartographer project to <CARTOGRAPHER_PATH>
2. export all proto files to python find $CARTOGRAPHER_PATH -name *.proto -printf "%P\n" -exec protoc -I=$CARTOGRAPHER_PATH --python_out=src/ {} \;
3. run python setup.py install

Print info

python main.py info --inputfile=<*.pbstream file> to print a summary about a file.
