+Installing Tiger housenumber data for the US
+============================================
+
+Nominatim is able to use the official TIGER address set to complement the
+OSM housenumber data in the US. You can add TIGER data to your own Nominatim
+instance by following these steps:
+
+ 1. Install the GDAL library and python bindings and the unzip tool
+
+ * Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install python-gdal unzip`
+ * CentOS: `sudo yum install gdal-python unzip`
+
+ 2. Get the TIGER 2015 data. You will need the EDGES files
+ (3,234 zip files, 11GB total). Choose one of the two sources:
+
+ wget -r ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2015/EDGES/
+ wget -r ftp://mirror1.shellbot.com/census/geo/tiger/TIGER2015/EDGES/
+
+ The first one is the original source, the second a considerably faster
+ mirror.
+
+ 3. Convert the data into SQL statements (stored in data/tiger):
+
+ ./utils/imports.php --parse-tiger <tiger edge data directory>
+
+ 4. Import the data into your Nominatim database:
+
+ ./utils/setup.php --import-tiger-data
+
+ 5. Enable use of the Tiger data in your `settings/local.php` by adding:
+
+ @define('CONST_Use_US_Tiger_Data', true);
+
+ 6. Apply the new settings:
+
+ ./utils/setup.php --create-functions --enable-diff-updates --create-partition-functions
+
+Be warned that the import can take a very long time, especially if you
+import all of the US. The entire US adds about 10GB to your database.
+
+
+Updates
+=======
+
+There are many different possibilities to update your Nominatim database.
+The following section describes how to keep it up-to-date with Pyosmium.
+For a list of other methods see the output of `./utils/update.php --help`.
+
+Installing the newest version of Pyosmium
+-----------------------------------------
+
+It is recommended to install Pyosmium via pip:
+
+ pip install --user osmium
+
+Nominatim needs a tool called `pyosmium-get-updates` that comes with
+Pyosmium. You need to tell Nominatim where to find it. Add the
+following line to your `settings/local.php`:
+
+ @define('CONST_Pyosmium_Binary', '/home/user/.local/bin/pyosmium-get-changes');
+
+The path above is fine if you used the `--user` parameter with pip.
+Replace `user` with your user name.
+
+Setting up the update process
+-----------------------------
+
+Next the update needs to be initialised. By default Nominatim is configured
+to update using the global minutely diffs.
+
+If you want a different update source you will need to add some settings
+to `settings/local.php`. For example, to use the daily country extracts
+diffs for Ireland from geofabrik add the following:
+
+ // base URL of the replication service
+ @define('CONST_Replication_Url', 'http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/ireland-and-northern-ireland-updates');
+ // How often upstream publishes diffs
+ @define('CONST_Replication_Update_Interval', '86400');
+ // How long to sleep if no update found yet
+ @define('CONST_Replication_Recheck_Interval', '900');
+
+To set up the update process now run the following command:
+
+ ./utils/update --init-updates
+
+It outputs the date where updates will start. Recheck that this date is
+what you expect.
+
+The --init-updates command needs to be rerun whenever the replication service
+is changed.
+
+Updating Nominatim
+------------------
+
+The following command will keep your database constantly up to date:
+
+ ./utils/update.php --import-osmosis-all
