This section provides information on the minimum setup required to quickly begin using Data Inspector Library. For more detailed information on HERE account setup, project creation, service linking, app registration, and authentication, see the Identity & Access Management Developer Guide.
Get a HERE account
If your organization has signed up for HERE Workspace or HERE Marketplace, contact your organization admin who can invite you to join the HERE platform organization established for your company. You can also request a free trial of the HERE platform if your company does not have an organization established for it. For more information, see the HERE platform pricing.

Configure the npm package manager
Configure the npm package manager, shipped with Node.js. This is necessary to run the commands in this guide.
Install a WebGL enabled browser to see visualizations
The latest versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari all support this technology. To test your browser, go to https://get.webgl.org/.
Install the Data Inspector Library
The Data Inspector Library consists of packages that you can obtain from the HERE Artifactory Repository. For a complete list of Data Inspector Library modules, see Library Modules Overview.
Create a simple web app
Create a simple web app that visualizes static GeoJSON data with tooltips. You can complete this example in three steps as follows:
To create the app, you require an integrated development environment (IDE) with TypeScript support. We recommend Visual Studio Code, but you can use any IDE or tools.
