 Installation

+**Nominatim is a complex piece of software and runs in a complex environment.
+Installing and running Nominatim is something for experienced system
+administrators only who can do some trouble-shooting themselves. We are sorry,
+but we can not provide installation support. We are all doing this in our free
+time and there is just so much of that time to go around. Do not open issues in
+our bug tracker if you need help. You can ask questions on the mailing list
+(see below) or on [help.openstreetmap.org](https://help.openstreetmap.org/).**
