Mapyrus is a graphical software that helps you to plot Geographic Information System (GIS) data to PostScript, PDF, SVG and PNG image files. It is implemented in Java and runs as either a utility program, a Java Servlet, or as a web server.

The application offers a BASIC-like scripting language, support for reading GIS datasets, it can be easily integrated into bigger apps, supports reusable and drawing routines, displaying and reading of GIS (Geographic Information System) tables, datasets and text files, and much more.

To use the Mapyrus application on your GNU/Linux system, you will have to download the latest version from Softpedia, where it is distributed for free as a ZIP archive, save the file somewhere on your computer, extract its contents using your favorite archive manager, open the outputted folder and double-click on the mapyrus.jar file.

If double-clicking on the JAR file has no effect, you must open the Terminal app installed on your OS, go to the location of the extracted archive files (e.g. cd /home/softpedia/mapyrus-1.401) and run the ‘java -jar mapyrus.jar’ command.
