Applying OSM styles to vector MBTILES on QGIS

Question

I downloaded here the OpenStreetMap vector tiles (mbtiles format) from MapTiler. Now I uploaded the file to QGIS but I see it without styles. How can I apply the standard OSM styles to it?

Answer 1

There are a few repos around on Gitlab with various style file options. Making a copy of these repos, and then loading up the appropriate styles in QGIS for each layer should work.

I had downloaded the shapefile data for areas of OSM data I was interested in via geofabrik and had success by using the style files in this repo: https://github.com/mkoenigb/OSM-Geofabrik_Universal-QML-Style

Other repos to consider include:
