## Prerequisites
### Software
+!!! Warning
+ For larger installations you **must have** PostgreSQL 11+ and Postgis 3+
+ otherwise import and queries will be slow to the point of being unusable.
+ Query performance has marked improvements with PostgrSQL 13+ and Postgis 3.2+.
+
For compiling:
* [cmake](https://cmake.org/)
* [proj](https://proj.org/)
* [bzip2](http://www.bzip.org/)
* [zlib](https://www.zlib.net/)
+ * [ICU](http://site.icu-project.org/)
* [Boost libraries](https://www.boost.org/), including system and filesystem
* PostgreSQL client libraries
* a recent C++ compiler (gcc 5+ or Clang 3.8+)
For running Nominatim:
- * [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org) (9.3+)
- * [PostGIS](https://postgis.net) (2.2+)
- * [Python 3](https://www.python.org/)
- * [Psycopg2](https://www.psycopg.org)
+ * [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org) (9.6+ will work, 11+ strongly recommended)
+ * [PostGIS](https://postgis.net) (2.2+ will work, 3.0+ strongly recommended)
+ * [Python 3](https://www.python.org/) (3.6+)
+ * [Psycopg2](https://www.psycopg.org) (2.7+)
+ * [Python Dotenv](https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv)
+ * [psutil](https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil)
+ * [Jinja2](https://palletsprojects.com/p/jinja/)
+ * [PyICU](https://pypi.org/project/PyICU/)
+ * [PyYaml](https://pyyaml.org/) (5.1+)
+ * [datrie](https://github.com/pytries/datrie)
* [PHP](https://php.net) (7.0 or later)
* PHP-pgsql
* PHP-intl (bundled with PHP)
- * [PHP Symphony Dotenv](https://symfony.com/doc/4.3/components/dotenv.html)
+ * PHP-cgi (for running queries from the command line)
For running continuous updates:
- * [pyosmium](https://osmcode.org/pyosmium/) (with Python 3)
+ * [pyosmium](https://osmcode.org/pyosmium/)
For dependencies for running tests and building documentation, see
the [Development section](../develop/Development-Environment.md).
also check out the osm2pgsql subproject:
```
-git clone --recursive git://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim.git
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim.git
```
The development version does not include the country grid. Download it separately:
```
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>`
+
+
+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.
+
+```
+export PATH=<install root>/bin:$PATH
```
Now continue with [importing the database](Import.md).
