Generate big distance matrix for scientific research

0

Hello people, i'm a master student and currently i'm working with a problem called location-routing problem.

I need to generate a distance matrix with all cities of my state (about 850 cities). I tried to use google maps however the price is too high for my low funds project and now i want to try to use Open Street Map. I am lost in regard of API's. I was not able to find a free API to provide me the distances in the matrix so i was thinking in create a local instance of the Open Source Routing Machine. Can anyone provide me a direction on where i should start? I'm really lost in this regard.

Any help is welcomed. Thank you.

Read https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend ("Quick Start") and then come back with concrete questions if something doesn't work.
