TileMill development is moving fast and we intend to create tags as soon as we get to usable stopping points. If you are interested in keeping up with or helping with development here are some steps to get setup:

Replace your TileMill directory with a git clone:

mv tilemill tilemill.old
git clone [email protected]:mapbox/tilemill.git

Bring your files directory with you - it contains all projects, exports and settings:

cp -r tilemill.old/files tilemill

Install TileMill as usual:

cd tilemill
./ndistro

To update your dev version, clean your copy and rebuild:

git pull
./ndistro clean
./ndistro
