gis - Convert osm data to png using Mapnik -


as stated in title, possible mapnik output png tiles osm data let's http://download.geofabrik.de/ without need of creating stylesheet.xml?

edit: not 1 png file while bunch of png files per tile , per zoom each tile make whole tile itself.

(regarding comment) that's not how works. openlayers, leaflet , similar libraries need tile server fetching these tiles. can't read directly database. tile server instead needs local database creating (rendering) these tiles.

thus client either have run tile server itself, or have run tile server client (see serving tiles on switch2osm), or client have access public tile server (see using tiles on switch2osm). third solution requires conform usage policy / terms of services of tile server have chosen. note there paid-for tile servers available.

also note there alternative approaches rendering smaller areas without need of full tile server installation, example using maperitive or tilemill.
