## Prerequisites
### Software
-For compiling:
+!!! 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 PostgreSQL 13+ and PostGIS 3.2+.
+
+For running Nominatim:
+
+ * [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org) (9.6+ will work, 11+ strongly recommended)
+ * [PostGIS](https://postgis.net) (2.2+ will work, 3.0+ strongly recommended)
+ * [osm2pgsql](https://osm2pgsql.org) (1.8+, optional when building with CMake)
+ * [Python 3](https://www.python.org/) (3.7+)
+
+Furthermore the following Python libraries are required:
+
+ * [Psycopg3](https://www.psycopg.org)
+ * [Python Dotenv](https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv)

+For a full planet install you will need at least 1TB of hard disk space.

+## Downloading and building Nominatim
+
+### Downloading the latest release
+
+You can download the [latest release from nominatim.org](https://nominatim.org/downloads/).
+The release contains all necessary files. Just unpack it.
+
+### Downloading the latest development version
+
+If you want to install latest development version from github, make sure to
+also check out the osm2pgsql subproject:
+
+```
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim.git
+```
- fsync = off
- full_page_writes = off
+The development version does not include the country grid. Download it separately:
-Don't forget to reenable them after the initial import or you risk database
-corruption. Autovacuum must not be switched off because it ensures that the
-tables are frequently analysed.
+```
+wget -O Nominatim/data/country_osm_grid.sql.gz https://nominatim.org/data/country_grid.sql.gz
+```
-### Webserver setup
+### Building Nominatim
-The `website/` directory in the build directory contains the configured
-website. Include the directory into your webbrowser to serve php files
-from there.
+#### Building the latest development version with pip
-#### Configure for use with Apache
+Nominatim is easiest to run from its own virtual environment. To create one, run:
-Make sure your Apache configuration contains the required permissions for the
-directory and create an alias:
+ sudo apt-get install virtualenv
+ virtualenv /srv/nominatim-venv
-
- Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
- AddType text/html .php
- DirectoryIndex search.php
- Require all granted
-
- Alias /nominatim /srv/nominatim/build/website
+To install Nominatim directly from the source tree into the virtual environment, run:
-`/srv/nominatim/build` should be replaced with the location of your
-build directory.
+ /srv/nominatim-venv/bin/pip install packaging/nominatim-{db,api}
-After making changes in the apache config you need to restart apache.
-The website should now be available on http://localhost/nominatim.
+#### Building in legacy CMake mode
-#### Configure for use with Nginx
+!!! warning
+ Installing Nominatim through CMake is now deprecated. The infrastructure
+ will be removed in Nominatim 5.0. Please switch to pip installation.
-Use php-fpm as a deamon for serving PHP cgi. Install php-fpm together with nginx.
+The code must be built in a separate directory. Create the directory and
+change into it.
-By default php listens on a network socket. If you want it to listen to a
-Unix socket instead, change the pool configuration (`pool.d/www.conf`) as
-follows:
+```
+mkdir build
+cd build
+```
- ; Comment out the tcp listener and add the unix socket
- ;listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
- listen = /var/run/php5-fpm.sock
+Nominatim uses cmake and make for building. Assuming that you have created the
+build at the same level as the Nominatim source directory run:
- ; Ensure that the daemon runs as the correct user
- listen.owner = www-data
- listen.group = www-data
- listen.mode = 0666
+```
+cmake ../Nominatim
+make
+sudo make install
+```
-Tell nginx that php files are special and to fastcgi_pass to the php-fpm
-unix socket by adding the location definition to the default configuration.
+!!! 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-`
+ The legacy tokenizer is deprecated and will be removed in Nominatim 5.0
