All current versions of Maps have full support for all databases that can be used with MediaWiki.
Go to the root directory of your MediaWiki installation.
If you have previously installed Composer skip to step 2.
To install Composer, just download http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar into your current directory.
wget http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
Now using Composer, install Maps
php composer.phar require mediawiki/maps "*"
As final step, you can verify Maps got installed by looking at the Special:Version page on your wiki and verifying the Maps extension is listed.
For support of the experimental custom image layers feature you have to run the MediaWiki update script.
php maintenance/update.php
See the Maps settings file for the available configuration options.
