 ### Installing the required packages
 
+The Nominatim frontend is best run from its own virtual environment. If
+you have already created one for the database backend during the
+[installation](Installation.md#building-nominatim), you can use that. Otherwise
+create one now with:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt-get install virtualenv
+virtualenv /srv/nominatim-venv
+```
+
+The Nominatim frontend is contained in the 'nominatim-api' package. To
+install directly from the source tree run:
+
+```sh
+cd Nominatim
+/srv/nominatim-venv/bin/pip install packaging/nominatim-api
+```
+
 The recommended way to deploy a Python ASGI application is to run
 the ASGI runner [uvicorn](https://uvicorn.org/)
 together with [gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/) HTTP server. We use
 Falcon here as the web framework.
