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

out of memory problems if you have less than 64GB RAM.
-For a full planet install you will need at least 900GB of hard disk space.
+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
-around 2 days. On traditional spinning disks, 7-8 days are more realistic.

## Tuning the PostgreSQL database
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
+ max_wal_size = 1GB
checkpoint_timeout = 10min
checkpoint_completion_target = 0.9
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
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
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`
+ 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
