-You can also process the data from the original TIGER data to create the
-SQL files, Nominatim needs for the import:
-
-  1. Get the TIGER 2017 data. You will need the EDGES files
-     (3,234 zip files, 11GB total).
-
-         wget -r ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2017/EDGES/
-
-  2. Convert the data into SQL statements: 
-
-         ./utils/imports.php --parse-tiger <tiger edge data directory>
-
-Be warned that this can take quite a long time. After this process is finished,
-the same preprocessed files as above are available in `data/tiger`.
