!!! 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:
For running Nominatim:
- * [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org) (9.5+ will work, 11+ strongly recommended)
+ * [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+)
* [Psycopg2](https://www.psycopg.org) (2.7+)
