### Hardware
A minimum of 2GB of RAM is required or installation will fail. For a full
-planet import 64GB of RAM or more are strongly recommended. Do not report
+planet import 128GB 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 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.
+around 2.5 days. When using traditional SSDs, 4-5 days are more realistic.
## Tuning the PostgreSQL database
maintenance_work_mem = (10GB)
autovacuum_work_mem = 2GB
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
- checkpoint_timeout = 10min
+ max_wal_size = 1GB
+ checkpoint_timeout = 60min
checkpoint_completion_target = 0.9
+ random_page_cost = 1.0
+ wal_level = minimal
+ max_wal_senders = 0
The numbers in brackets behind some parameters seem to work fine for
-64GB RAM machine. Adjust to your setup. A higher number for `max_wal_size`
+128GB RAM machine. Adjust to your setup. A higher number for `max_wal_size`
means that PostgreSQL needs to run checkpoints less often but it does require
the additional space on your disk.
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
### Downloading the latest development version
-If you want to install latest development version from github, make sure to
-also check out the osm2pgsql subproject:
+If you want to install latest development version from github:
```
-git clone --recursive git://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim.git
+git clone https://github.com/osm-search/Nominatim.git
```
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
-The code must be built in a separate directory. Create the directory and
-change into it.
-
-```
-mkdir build
-cd build
-```
+Nominatim is easiest to run from its own virtual environment. To create one, run:
-Nominatim uses cmake and make for building. Assuming that you have created the
-build at the same level as the Nominatim source directory run:
+ sudo apt-get install virtualenv
+ virtualenv /srv/nominatim-venv
-```
-cmake ../Nominatim
-make
-sudo make install
-```
+To install Nominatim directly from the source tree into the virtual environment, run:
-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
-in that case, e.g.
+ /srv/nominatim-venv/bin/pip install packaging/nominatim-{db,api}
-```
-export PATH=<install root>/bin:$PATH
-```
Now continue with [importing the database](Import.md).
