 ### Building Nominatim
 
 
 ### Building Nominatim
 

-The code must be built in a separate directory. Create the directory and
-change into it.
+Nominatim is easiest to run from its own virtual environment. To create one, run:

 
 

-```
-mkdir build
-cd build
-```
-
-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
-sudo make install
-```
-
-!!! warning
-    The default installation no longer compiles the PostgreSQL module that
-    is needed for the legacy tokenizer from older Nominatim versions. If you
-    are upgrading an older database or want to run the
-    [legacy tokenizer](../customize/Tokenizers.md#legacy-tokenizer) for
-    some other reason, you need to enable the PostgreSQL module via
-    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>`
+    sudo apt-get install virtualenv
+    virtualenv /srv/nominatim-venv

 
 

+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
-```
