osm tile server renderd command not found

Question

using this set of instructions to make an OSM tile server (on Ubuntu 14.04).

When I run this sudo -u my_username renderd -f -c /usr/local/etc/renderd.conf the terminal reports renderd: command not found.

Any ideas why this would be? I have everything in the instructions up to this point working and i dont see a note on how exactly to install renderd, its just part of mod_tile. I thought about trying to get around the issues by running the renderd.py file and supplying the file path to my renderd.conf file, but i get more issues as the OSMBright.xml file contains fonts mapnik can't find, despite setting all the font dirs correctly...maybe more on this issues later.

For now I'd be grateful if anyone can shed light on why my install cant find the command renderd

Answer 1

try to find correct path to renderd. like /usr/local/bin/renderd

Answer 2

Solved it. The instructions are missing a line after doing the make step for mod_tile, there should be a make renderd command too. That way the binary for renderd is actually generated and will respond
