If you want to include sea tiles, then create a directory called `coastline` in the same place you're running tilemaker from, and then save the files from https://osmdata.openstreetmap.de/download/water-polygons-split-4326.zip in it, such that tilemaker can find a file at `coastline/water_polygons.shp`.
tilemaker keeps everything in RAM by default. To process large areas without running out of memory, tell it to use temporary storage on SSD:

tilemaker /path/to/your/input.osm.pbf /path/to/your/output.mbtiles --store /path/to/your/ssd

_(If you want to include optional small-scale landcover, create a `landcover` directory, and download the appropriate 10m files from 'Features' at https://www.naturalearthdata.com so that you have `landcover/ne_10m_antarctic_ice_shelves_polys/ne_10m_antarctic_ice_shelves_polys.shp`, `landcover/ne_10m_urban_areas/ne_10m_urban_areas.shp`, `landcover/ne_10m_glaciated_areas/ne_10m_glaciated_areas.shp`.)_
