# STARTER KIT — DOWNLOAD

Launch your own **CITY IN FLUX** — a geotagged street-photography archive with
static project pages and a master map, hosted on your own Amazon S3 + CloudFront.
No prior cloud experience required: an AI agent walks you through it.

## GET IT

**[⬇ Download cityflux-starter-v1.0.zip](/downloads/cityflux-starter-v1.0.zip)**  ·  ~183 KB · MIT-licensed code

---

## YOU NEED

- [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
- Python 3.12 (3.11+ likely fine)
- An AWS account (only to publish — you can preview locally first)
- A folder of **geotagged** photos

---

## LAUNCH IN ONE MOVE

1. Unzip the folder.
2. Open it in Claude Code.
3. Say:

> **"Read AGENT_START_HERE.md and help me launch MY_CITY_IN_FLUX."**

The agent inspects your machine, asks four questions (city name, your name, photo
folder, local-only or AWS), installs dependencies, generates a sample project you
can preview in your browser, and — when you're ready — guides the AWS deploy. It
never asks you to paste secrets into chat.

---

## WHAT'S INSIDE

- Photo → project pipeline: EXIF, web derivatives, reverse geocoding, stats, route map, contact sheet.
- Static **project pages** + a master **hub/map** + a homepage **embed**.
- A private local **studio** (browser): `street name → drag photos → publish`.
- **Sample data** + a worked **example** + an **empty catalog** to start from.
- Six docs (setup, run-local, publish, configuration, troubleshooting) + `AGENT_START_HERE.md`.

Published images have **GPS/EXIF stripped**; only the route line you choose is shown.

## LEARN THE SYSTEM

The pages in this section double as a full implementation spec (an AI agent can
build the whole system from them):

- [AI Implementation Guide](../starter-kit-overview/) · [Architecture](../starter-kit-architecture/) · [Configuration](../starter-kit-configuration/)
- [Setup](../starter-kit-setup/) · [Deployment](../starter-kit-deployment/) · [Workflow](../starter-kit-workflow/)
- [Modifications](../starter-kit-modifications/) · [Security](../starter-kit-security/) · [Template Plan](../starter-kit-template-plan/) · [Roadmap](../starter-kit-roadmap/)
