All current versions of Semantic Maps have full support for all databases that can be used with Semantic MediaWiki.
The recommended way to download and install Semantic Maps is with Composer using MediaWiki 1.22 built-in support for Composer.
Note that the Semantic MediaWiki extension as well as the Maps extension need to be installed first for this extension to work.
Go to the root directory of your MediaWiki installation.
If you have previously installed Composer skip to step 2.
To install Composer run:
wget http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
Now using Composer, install Semantic Maps by running
php composer.phar require mediawiki/semantic-maps "*"
As final step, you can verify Semantic Maps got installed by looking at the "Special:Version" page on your wiki and verifying the Semantic Maps extension is listed in the "Semantic extensions" section.
See the Semantic Maps settings file for the available configuration options.
