+Nominatim is easiest to run from its own virtual environment. To create one, run:

 
 

-`/srv/nominatim/build` should be replaced with the location of your
-build directory.
+    sudo apt-get install virtualenv
+    virtualenv /srv/nominatim-venv

 
 

-After making changes in the apache config you need to restart apache.
-The website should now be available on http://localhost/nominatim.
+To install Nominatim directly from the source tree into the virtual environment, run:

 
 

-#### Configure for use with Nginx
+    /srv/nominatim-venv/bin/pip install packaging/nominatim-{db,api}

 
 

-Use php-fpm as a deamon for serving PHP cgi. Install php-fpm together with nginx.
+#### Building in legacy CMake mode

 
 

-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:
+!!! warning
+    Installing Nominatim through CMake is now deprecated. The infrastructure
+    will be removed in Nominatim 5.0. Please switch to pip installation.

 
 

-    ; Comment out the tcp listener and add the unix socket
-    ;listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
-    listen = /var/run/php5-fpm.sock
+The code must be built in a separate directory. Create the directory and
+change into it.

 
 

-    ; Ensure that the daemon runs as the correct user
-    listen.owner = www-data
-    listen.group = www-data
-    listen.mode = 0666
+```
+mkdir build
+cd build
+```

 
 

-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.
+Nominatim uses cmake and make for building. Assuming that you have created the
+build at the same level as the Nominatim source directory run:

 
 

-    root /srv/nominatim/build/website;
-    index search.php index.html;
-    location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) {
-        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
-        if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
-            return 404;
-        }
-        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
-        fastcgi_index search.php;
-        include fastcgi.conf;
-    }
+```
+cmake ../Nominatim
+make

-Restart the nginx and php5-fpm services and the website should now be available
-at `http://localhost/`.
+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.
