+Debugging user interface for [Nominatim](https://nominatim.org/)
+([source](https://github.com/osm-search/Nominatim/)) geocoder.

 
 

-## Background
+The frontend runs standalone as website and will request data
+from a separate Nominatim API running on http://localhost:80/nominatim/ (configurable, see below).

 
 

-The user interface used to be included in the geocoder. Thus the
-first version avoid being a redesign and still uses some of the
-same configuration values. For simplicity it's not a single
-page application (SPA) written in a framework though it could
-be if complexity grows.
+Download a stable release from [https://github.com/osm-search/nominatim-ui/releases]().
+For technical background, how to develop and create a release see [CONTRIBUTE.md](CONTRIBUTE.md) file at [https://github.com/osm-search/nominatim-ui/]().

 ## Starting the frontend
 
 
 ## Starting the frontend
 

-You can open the `dist` directory in your browser.
+You can either

 
 

-You can run `yarn start` to start a simple HTTP webserver and open
-[http://localhost:8000/]() in your browser.
+* open the `dist` directory in your browser.

 
 

-Or start another webserver ([Big list of http static server one-liners](https://gist.github.com/willurd/5720255)).
+* if you have Python installed (part of the Nominatim API server installation):

 
 

+   1. `cd dist`
+   2. start webserver `python3 -m http.server 8765` 
+   3. open [http://localhost:8765/]() in your browser

 
 

-## Configuration
+* start a webserver using ([Big list of http static server one-liners](https://gist.github.com/willurd/5720255)) or configure Apache, nginx or other webservers to serve the `dist` directory.

 
 

-In `dist/config.js` you will find configuration options. The first
-you want to doublecheck is the `Nominatim_API_Endpoint` URL.

 
 

+## Configuration

 
 

-## Building the frontend
-
-* Install dependencies
-
-   ```
-   yarn install
-   ```
+Defaults are set in `dist/config.default.js`.
+You can overwrite settings in `dist/config.theme.js`, for example:

 
 

-* After you change files in `src` directory
+```javascript
+  Nominatim_Config.Nominatim_API_Endpoint = 'http://my-server:1234/';
+```

 
 

-   ```
-   yarn build
-   ```
+The `dist/theme/` directory also contains files make it easy to set a different
+logo image, colors, welcome and help text.
