The following instructions will help you install the Mapbox API. This API will allow you to;
1.) Obtain Coordinates of campus locations
2.) Display a map of the coordinates

  • Navigate to your project's folder
    $ cd /var/www/<project_name>
  • Edit the project's settings.py to include Mapbox
    $ nano ./<<project name>>/settings.py
    Add the following line to the "INSTALLED_APPS" section
    MAPBOX_API_TOKEN = '<<MAPBOX_API_TOKEN>>'

NearBeach will automatically find the Mapbox token and start displaying the maps. If the maps are not displaying please check that you are using the correct API Token
