## Prerequisites
### Software
+!!! Warning
+ For larger installations you **must have** PostgreSQL 11+ and PostGIS 3+
+ otherwise import and queries will be slow to the point of being unusable.

The development version does not include the country grid. Download it separately:

### Building Nominatim
```
cmake ../Nominatim
make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+!!! warning
+ The default installation no longer compiles the PostgreSQL module that
+ is needed for the legacy tokenizer from older Nominatim versions. If you
+ are upgrading an older database or want to run the
+ [legacy tokenizer](../customize/Tokenizers.md#legacy-tokenizer) for
+ some other reason, you need to enable the PostgreSQL module via
+ cmake: `cmake -DBUILD_MODULE=on ../Nominatim`. To compile the module
+ you need to have the server development headers for PostgreSQL installed.
+ On Ubuntu/Debian run: `sudo apt install postgresql-server-dev-<postgresql version>`
+
+
+Nominatim installs itself into `/usr/local` per default. To choose a different
+installation directory add `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install root>` to the
+cmake command. Make sure that the `bin` directory is available in your path
+in that case, e.g.
+
+```
+export PATH=<install root>/bin:$PATH
```
Now continue with [importing the database](Import.md).
