Note: Many thanks to Matteng0 for putting this together!

  • First things first install PostgreSql from this link. Install version 9.5.3 selecting either Win x86-32 or Win x86-64 depending if you are 32 bit or 64 bit windows.

  • Go to the location where you installed PostgreSql and goto the data directory (default is C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5\data ) From there right click pg_hba.conf and select “Open With...” then select notepad. At the bottom of the file add:

host     all      all \[YOUR IP ADDRESS\]/32      md5

  • Save the file.

  • The version of PostgreSql allows us to add to the package easily via an inbuilt application stack builder. Go to “All Programs” select PostgreSql and select “Application Stack Builder” then select your database from the drop down menu and click Next.

  • Click on the expand button beside “Spatial Extensions” and select the most appropriate PostGIS bundle for your operation system (v2.2.2 32bit or 64bit) and click next and complete the installation, accepting all the defaults and clicking yes with any items that might pop up.

  • Download the newest version of pgAdmin 3 and install it.

  • Once installed open “pgAdmin III” from “All Programs”.

  • Double click the item titled PostgreSQL 9.5to connect to the database server.

  • On “Login Roles” right click and select “New Login Role”. In “Role name” type “pokemon_go_role” then select “Role privileges” along the top. Make sure all available check boxes are selected on this time then select “OK”.

  • On “Databases” right click and select “New Database…”. In name type “pokemon_go” and select the owner as “pokemon_go_role”. Go to the definition tab and for "Encoding" select UTF8 and click OK.

  • Right click the newly created database and select “Restore…”. Download the pokemon_go_db_backup.tar file from the Pokelyzer Github repo.

  • Back in pgAdmin, select the ... button next to the Filename box, and in the dialog box that currently says "Backup files...", change it to "All files". Find the file you just downloaded and open it.

  • Click Restore and wait a moment, and you should get a Process returned exit code 0 message.

  • Now for the final check go through the pokemon_go database tree to check that there are 5 tables (pokemon_go > Schemas > public > Tables).

  • That’s the database setup.

Pokemon Go Map installation – Note this has been taken from here

  • Download Python here and install. Then download pip (right click that link and choose "Save Link As"), and double click the file you downloaded, assuming you installed Python correctly.

  • Download NodeJS here and install.

  • Create a Pokemon Club account on their official website to be used by the program to search for Pokemon. This generally shouldn't be the same as your main Trainer account you personally use. As of 7/21/2016 this page is unavailable most of the time, refresh the page every 5-10 minutes and it should allow signups eventually. You can also use a Google account. For both services, you can login without ever connecting to the actual game.

  • Then, download one the following branch:

  • Dev branch

The dev branch will have latest features from the development team, however it may be unstable at some times. It's required for the latest version of Pokelyzer.

  • Extract this zip file to any location.

  • There is a one-click setup for Windows. After you've installed Python, go into the Easy Setup folder and run setup.bat. This should install pip and the dependencies for you, and put your Google API key into the right place (follow this wiki entry to obtain a API key)

  • From where ever you have extracted the Pokemon Go Map open a command prompt (usually by selecting File > Open Command Prompt)

  • To start the server, run the following command: python runserver.py -u [USERNAME] -p [PASSWORD] -st 10 -k [Google Maps API key] -l "[LOCATION]"

Or for Google account: python runserver.py -a google -u [USERNAME] -p [PASSWORD] -st 10 -k [Google Maps API key] -l "[LOCATION]"

Replacing [USERNAME] and [PASSWORD] with the Pokemon Club credentials you created previously, and [LOCATION] with any location, for example Washington, D.C or latitude and longitude coordinates, such as 38.9072, 77.0369.

  • Additionally, you can change the 10 after -st to any number. This number indicates the number of steps away from your location it should look, higher numbers being farther.

  • You can now access the map by opening your browser to http://localhost:5000

Getting Pokelyzer Set UP

  • Go to the directory just above the PokemonGo-Map folder and install Node.js v4.X using the installer on the home page
  • Download the repo from here and extract it
  • Open a terminal and type cd \your\directory\, replacing the directory with where you extracted the files
  • Pull the repo and install the dependencies with:
npm install
npm install -g bunyan
  • Run using:
set DB_NAME=pokemon_go
set DB_USER=pokemon_go_role
set DB_PASS=[YOUR PASS]
set DB_PORT=5432
set WS_PORT=9876
set ERA=2
node app.js

Now run your PokemonGo-Map with the additional -wh parameter shown below:

 python runserver.py -a ptc -u [Your Username] -p [Your Password] -l "[Your Location]" -st 25 -H 0.0.0.0 -k [Your Google API key] -wh http://localhost:9876

If you go back into pgAdmin, right click the spotted_pokemon table and view the top 100 rows of data, you should see it being populated!
