!!! 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.
+ Query performance has marked improvements with PostgrSQL 13+ and Postgis 3.2+.
For compiling:
* [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org) (9.6+ will work, 11+ strongly recommended)
* [PostGIS](https://postgis.net) (2.2+ will work, 3.0+ strongly recommended)
* [Python 3](https://www.python.org/) (3.6+)
+ * [Python Typing Extensions](https://github.com/python/typing_extensions)
* [Psycopg2](https://www.psycopg.org) (2.7+)
* [Python Dotenv](https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv)
* [psutil](https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil)

+!!! 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
