```
-mkdir ~/nominatim-planet

In the following, we refer to the project directory as `$PROJECT_DIR`. To be
able to copy&paste instructions, you can export the appropriate variable:
```
-export PROJECT_DIR=~/nominatim-planet

The Nominatim tool assumes per default that the current working directory is

+ wget -O secondary_importance.sql.gz https://nominatim.org/data/wikimedia-secondary-importance.sql.gz

If you forgot to download the wikipedia rankings, then you can
also add importances after the import. Download the SQL files, then
- run `nominatim refresh --wiki-data --importance`. Updating
- importances for a planet will take a couple of hours.

#### Testing the Python frontend
nominatim serve --engine starlette
```
-Go to `http://localhost:8088/status.php` and you should see the message `OK`.
-You can also run a search query, e.g. `http://localhost:8088/search.php?q=Berlin`

-#### Testing the PHP frontend
-
-You can run a small test server with the PHP frontend like this:
-
-```sh
-nominatim serve --engine php
-```
-
-Go to `http://localhost:8088/status.php` and you should see the message `OK`.
-You can also run a search query, e.g. `http://localhost:8088/search.php?q=Berlin`
-or, for reverse-only installations a reverse query,
-e.g. `http://localhost:8088/reverse.php?lat=27.1750090510034&lon=78.04209025`.
