- * a webserver (apache or nginx are recommended)
-
-!!! danger "Important"
- Postgresql 12+ and Postgis 3.0+ are known to cause performance issues. They are
- not recommended for a production installation at the moment.

- * [nose](https://nose.readthedocs.io)
- * [phpunit](https://phpunit.de) >= 7.3
+For dependencies for running tests and building documentation, see
+the [Development section](../develop/Development-Environment.md).
### Hardware
planet import 64GB of RAM or more are strongly recommended. Do not report
out of memory problems if you have less than 64GB RAM.
-For a full planet install you will need at least 800GB of hard disk space
-(take into account that the OSM database is growing fast). SSD disks
-will help considerably to speed up import and queries.
+For a full planet install you will need at least 900GB 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
-at least 2 days. Without SSDs 7-8 days are more realistic.
+around 2 days. On traditional spinning disks, 7-8 days are more realistic.
-## Setup of the server
-
-### PostgreSQL tuning
+## Tuning the PostgreSQL database
You might want to tune your PostgreSQL installation so that the later steps
make best use of your hardware. You should tune the following parameters in
corruption.
-### Webserver setup
-
-The `website/` directory in the build directory contains the configured
-website. Include the directory into your webbrowser to serve php files
-from there.
-
-#### Configure for use with Apache
-
-Make sure your Apache configuration contains the required permissions for the
-directory and create an alias:
-
- <Directory "/srv/nominatim/build/website">
- Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
- AddType text/html .php
- DirectoryIndex search.php
- Require all granted
- </Directory>
- Alias /nominatim /srv/nominatim/build/website
-
-`/srv/nominatim/build` should be replaced with the location of your
-build directory.
+## Downloading and building Nominatim
-After making changes in the apache config you need to restart apache.
-The website should now be available on http://localhost/nominatim.
+### Downloading the latest release
-#### Configure for use with Nginx
+You can download the [latest release from nominatim.org](https://nominatim.org/downloads/).
+The release contains all necessary files. Just unpack it.
-Use php-fpm as a deamon for serving PHP cgi. Install php-fpm together with nginx.
+### Downloading the latest development version
-By default php listens on a network socket. If you want it to listen to a
-Unix socket instead, change the pool configuration (`pool.d/www.conf`) as
-follows:
+If you want to install latest development version from github, make sure to
+also check out the osm2pgsql subproject:
- ; Comment out the tcp listener and add the unix socket
- ;listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
- listen = /var/run/php5-fpm.sock
+```
+git clone --recursive git://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim.git
+```
- ; Ensure that the daemon runs as the correct user
- listen.owner = www-data
- listen.group = www-data
- listen.mode = 0666
+The development version does not include the country grid. Download it separately:
-Tell nginx that php files are special and to fastcgi_pass to the php-fpm
-unix socket by adding the location definition to the default configuration.
+```
+wget -O Nominatim/data/country_osm_grid.sql.gz https://www.nominatim.org/data/country_grid.sql.gz
+```
- root /srv/nominatim/build/website;
- index search.php;
- location / {
- try_files $uri $uri/ @php;
- }
+### Building Nominatim
- location @php {
- fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME "$document_root$uri.php";
- fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED "$document_root$uri.php";
- fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $args;
- fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
- fastcgi_index index.php;
- include fastcgi_params;
- }
+The code must be built in a separate directory. Create the directory and
+change into it.
- location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
- fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
- if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
- return 404;
- }
- fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php7.3-fpm.sock;
- fastcgi_index search.php;
- include fastcgi.conf;
- }
+```
+mkdir build
+cd build
+```
-Restart the nginx and php5-fpm services and the website should now be available
-at `http://localhost/`.
+Nominatim uses cmake and make for building. Assuming that you have created the
+build at the same level as the Nominatim source directory run:
+```
+cmake ../Nominatim
+make
+```
-Now continue with [importing the database](Import-and-Update.md).
+Now continue with [importing the database](Import.md).
