+Please be aware that tests always run against the globally installed
+osm2pgsql, so you need to have this set up. If you want to test against
+the vendored version of osm2pgsql, you need to set the PATH accordingly.

+The Python tools should always be run with the most recent version.
+In particular, pylint tends to have a lot of breaking changes between versions.
+The easiest way, to handle these Python dependencies is to run your
+development from within a virtual environment.

 
 ```sh
 
 ```sh

-sudo apt install php-cgi phpunit php-codesniffer \
-                 python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-dev pylint
+sudo apt install libsqlite3-mod-spatialite php-cli
+```
+
+To set up the virtual environment with all necessary packages run:

+### Running Nominatim during development
+
+The source code for Nominatim can be found in the `src` directory and can
+be run in-place. The source directory features a special script
+`nominatim-cli.py` which does the same as the installed 'nominatim' binary
+but executes against the code in the source tree. For example:
+
+```
+me@machine:~$ cd Nominatim
+me@machine:~Nominatim$ ./nominatim-cli.py --version
+Nominatim version 4.4.99-1
+```
