I am looking for a straight-forward guide to installing and setting up Tilestache. I am relatively new to the world of Linux and Javascript, so be gentle.
Background:
I have installed Apache and Postgres 9.3/Postgis 2.1 on a Debian Wheezy os. We use Apache to host our utility's website.
I have created a test map using Leaflet at www.jwwu.com/DesktopMap.html. Right now, it currently just pulls a geojson file from our server using the Ajax-Leaflet plugin.
The loading speed for the geojsons isn't an issue on a desktop, but was abysmal on our tablets.
I would like to use Tilestache to serve vector tiles from our Postgis database, and then integrate the tiles into a Leaflet map.
I found one or two guides online for installing Tilestache, but they didn't really fit my situation. Could someone point me in the right direction?
For a basic TileStache setup I recommend this guide for Ubuntu easily adaptable to Debian.
Once you have TileStache working you should follow the info about PostgreSQL/PostGIS in this gist.
