OSM Express uses CMake for its build scripts. It's only been tested with the Clang C++ compiler so far.
Most dependencies are included as Git submodules in the vendor/ directory, but a few stable, common libraries are expected to exist on your system, including bzip2, zlib, Expat and OpenSSL.
sudo pkg install cmake expat
via Homebrew: brew install cmake bzip2 zlib openssl expat
Additional macOS notes: the Clang compiler should be available via XCode Command Line Tools.
via Apt package manager: sudo apt install cmake clang libbz2-dev libz-dev libexpat-dev libssl-dev
git clone --recursive https://github.com/protomaps/OSMExpress.git
cd OSMExpress
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
make
macOS note: If OpenSSL is installed through Homebrew, you may need to add an option to your cmake command: -DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2s/include/

Install the library with pip install osmx . This will also download and install the pycapnp and lmdb Python libraries.
The Python API supports only location, node, way and relation lookups at the moment. Example:
import osmx
env = osmx.Environment('planet.osmx')
txn = osmx.Transaction(env)
locations = osmx.Locations(txn)
nodes = osmx.Nodes(txn)
ways = osmx.Ways(txn)
way = ways.get(123456)
for node_id in way.nodes:
print(locations.get(node_id))
print(osmx.tag_dict(way.tags))
