### Hardware
A minimum of 2GB of RAM is required or installation will fail. For a full

+planet import 128GB of RAM or more are strongly recommended. Do not report
out of memory problems if you have less than 64GB RAM.
-For a full planet install you will need at least 800GB of hard disk space
-(take into account that the OSM database is growing fast). SSD disks
-will help considerably to speed up import and queries.
+For a full planet install you will need at least 1TB of hard disk space.
+Take into account that the OSM database is growing fast.
+Fast disks are essential. Using NVME disks is recommended.
Even on a well configured machine the import of a full planet takes

## Tuning the PostgreSQL database
maintenance_work_mem = (10GB)
autovacuum_work_mem = 2GB
work_mem = (50MB)
- effective_cache_size = (24GB)
synchronous_commit = off
- checkpoint_segments = 100 # only for postgresql <= 9.4
- max_wal_size = 1GB # postgresql > 9.4
- checkpoint_timeout = 10min
+ max_wal_size = 1GB
+ checkpoint_timeout = 60min
checkpoint_completion_target = 0.9
+ random_page_cost = 1.0
+ wal_level = minimal
+ max_wal_senders = 0
The numbers in brackets behind some parameters seem to work fine for
-64GB RAM machine. Adjust to your setup. A higher number for `max_wal_size`
+128GB RAM machine. Adjust to your setup. A higher number for `max_wal_size`
means that PostgreSQL needs to run checkpoints less often but it does require
the additional space on your disk.
and even reduce `autovacuum_work_mem` further. This will reduce the amount
of memory that autovacuum takes away from the import process.
-For the initial import, you should also set:
-
- fsync = off
- full_page_writes = off
-
-Don't forget to reenable them after the initial import or you risk database
-corruption.

## Downloading and building Nominatim
### Downloading the latest release
### Downloading the latest development version
-If you want to install latest development version from github, make sure to
-also check out the osm2pgsql subproject:
+If you want to install latest development version from github:
```
-git clone --recursive git://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim.git
+git clone https://github.com/osm-search/Nominatim.git
```
The development version does not include the country grid. Download it separately:
```
-wget -O Nominatim/data/country_osm_grid.sql.gz https://www.nominatim.org/data/country_grid.sql.gz
+wget -O Nominatim/data/country_osm_grid.sql.gz https://nominatim.org/data/country_grid.sql.gz
```
### Building Nominatim
-The code must be built in a separate directory. Create the directory and
-change into it.
+Nominatim is easiest to run from its own virtual environment. To create one, run:
-```
-mkdir build
-cd build
-```
+ sudo apt-get install virtualenv
+ virtualenv /srv/nominatim-venv
-Nominatim uses cmake and make for building. Assuming that you have created the
-build at the same level as the Nominatim source directory run:
+To install Nominatim directly from the source tree into the virtual environment, run:
+
+ /srv/nominatim-venv/bin/pip install packaging/nominatim-{db,api}
-```
-cmake ../Nominatim
-make
-```
Now continue with [importing the database](Import.md).
