### Hardware
A minimum of 2GB of RAM is required or installation will fail. For a full

+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.

## Tuning the PostgreSQL database
maintenance_work_mem = (10GB)
autovacuum_work_mem = 2GB
work_mem = (50MB)
- effective_cache_size = (24GB)
synchronous_commit = off
max_wal_size = 1GB
- checkpoint_timeout = 10min
+ 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
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
+#### Building the latest development version with pip
+
+Nominatim is easiest to run from its own virtual environment. To create one, run:
+
+ sudo apt-get install virtualenv
+ virtualenv /srv/nominatim-venv
+
+To install Nominatim directly from the source tree into the virtual environment, run:
+
+ /srv/nominatim-venv/bin/pip install packaging/nominatim-{db,api}
+
+#### Building in legacy CMake mode
+
+!!! warning
+ Installing Nominatim through CMake is now deprecated. The infrastructure
+ will be removed in Nominatim 5.0. Please switch to pip installation.
+
The code must be built in a separate directory. Create the directory and
change into it.
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>`
+ The legacy tokenizer is deprecated and will be removed in Nominatim 5.0
Nominatim installs itself into `/usr/local` per default. To choose a different
