prerequisites. There are also step-by-step instructions available for
the following operating systems:
- * [Ubuntu 22.04](../appendix/Install-on-Ubuntu-22.md)
- * [Ubuntu 20.04](../appendix/Install-on-Ubuntu-20.md)

These OS-specific instructions can also be found in executable form
in the `vagrant/` directory.
otherwise import and queries will be slow to the point of being unusable.
Query performance has marked improvements with PostgreSQL 13+ and PostGIS 3.2+.

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 re-enable them after the initial import or you risk database
-corruption.

## Downloading and building Nominatim
### Downloading the latest release
### 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.
