 ### Building Nominatim

+Nominatim is easiest to run from its own virtual environment. To create one, run:
+
+    sudo apt-get install virtualenv
+    virtualenv /srv/nominatim-venv
+
+To install Nominatim directly from the source tree into the virtual environment, run:
+
+    /srv/nominatim-venv/bin/pip install packaging/nominatim-{db,api}
+
+#### Building in legacy CMake mode
+
+!!! warning
+    Installing Nominatim through CMake is now deprecated. The infrastructure
+    will be removed in Nominatim 5.0. Please switch to pip installation.
