Description

If you are building kepler.gl on your own, you likely need to create and supply your own mapbox token, or use non-mapbox basemaps such as the CARTO basemaps. As it is external to the project, you'll need to search for info on how to do that, but there is some info in the deck.gl docs and also in the react-map-gl docs that might get you started.

The only change I made so far is to find a way to avoid react-palm package issue. If I want my map similar to the demo-app (i.e. using the default basemap), other than providing a personal MapBox token, what else are needed? I'm not familiar with MapBox. Do I need to create new map in Mapbox myself? Thanks~

Research direction

Start by reviewing the demo-app setup and the guidance in the deck.gl and react-map-gl documentation. Check how a Mapbox token or a non-Mapbox CARTO basemap is supplied when building kepler.gl independently. Done means the required setup for displaying the default or alternative basemap is identified and documented.
