#### Building the latest development version with pip
-To install Nominatim directly from the source tree, run:
+Nominatim is easiest to run from its own virtual environment. To create one, run:
- pip install packaging/nominatim-{core,db,api}
+ 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
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
