data and the Tiger data for South Dakota:

```
-Copy the test settings:
+Create a minimal test settings file:
```
-cp $USERNAME/Nominatim/test/testdb/local.php settings/
+tee .env << EOF
+NOMINATIM_DATABASE_DSN="pgsql:dbname=test_api_nominatim"
+NOMINATIM_USE_US_TIGER_DATA=yes

+NOMINATIM_WIKIPEDIA_DATA_PATH=$USERNAME/Nominatim/test/testdb
+EOF
```
Inspect the file to check that all settings are correct for your local setup.
+In particular, the wikipedia path should point to the test directory in your
+Nominatim source directory.
Now you can import the test database:
