-## Updates
-
-There are many different ways to update your Nominatim database.
-The following section describes how to keep it up-to-date with Pyosmium.
-For a list of other methods see the output of `./utils/update.php --help`.
-
-!!! warning
- If you have configured a flatnode file for the import, then you
- need to keep this flatnode file around for updates as well.
-
-#### Installing the newest version of Pyosmium
-
-It is recommended to install Pyosmium via pip. Make sure to use python3.
-Run (as the same user who will later run the updates):
-
-```sh
-pip3 install --user osmium
-```
-
-Nominatim needs a tool called `pyosmium-get-updates` which comes with
-Pyosmium. You need to tell Nominatim where to find it. Add the
-following line to your `settings/local.php`:
-
- @define('CONST_Pyosmium_Binary', '/home/user/.local/bin/pyosmium-get-changes');
-
-The path above is fine if you used the `--user` parameter with pip.
-Replace `user` with your user name.
-
-#### Setting up the update process
-
-Next the update needs to be initialised. By default Nominatim is configured
-to update using the global minutely diffs.
-
-If you want a different update source you will need to add some settings
-to `settings/local.php`. For example, to use the daily country extracts
-diffs for Ireland from Geofabrik add the following:
-
- // base URL of the replication service
- @define('CONST_Replication_Url', 'https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/ireland-and-northern-ireland-updates');
- // How often upstream publishes diffs
- @define('CONST_Replication_Update_Interval', '86400');
- // How long to sleep if no update found yet
- @define('CONST_Replication_Recheck_Interval', '900');
-
-To set up the update process now run the following command:
-
- ./utils/update.php --init-updates
-
-It outputs the date where updates will start. Recheck that this date is
-what you expect.
-
-The `--init-updates` command needs to be rerun whenever the replication service
-is changed.
-
-#### Updating Nominatim
-
-The following command will keep your database constantly up to date:
-
- ./utils/update.php --import-osmosis-all
-
-(Note that even though the old name "import-osmosis-all" has been kept for
-compatibility reasons, Osmosis is not required to run this - it uses pyosmium
-behind the scenes.)
-
-If you have imported multiple country extracts and want to keep them
-up-to-date, [Advanced installations section](Advanced-Installations.md) contains instructions
-to set up and update multiple country extracts.
