# Install Nominatim in a virtual machine for development and testing

+This document describes how you can install Nominatim inside a Ubuntu 16
virtual machine on your desktop/laptop (host machine). The goal is to give
you a development environment to easily edit code and run the test suite
without affecting the rest of your system.

start to finish depending on how fast your computer and download speed
is.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/openstreetmap/Nominatim.git
- If you haven't used `--recursive`, then you can load the submodules using
+ If forgot `--recursive`, you can later load the submodules using
git submodule init
git submodule update
vagrant ssh ubuntu
3. Import a small country (Monaco)
-
- You need to give the virtual machine more memory (2GB) for an import,
- see `Vagrantfile`. Otherwise 1GB is enough.
See the FAQ how to skip this step and point Nominatim to an existing database.
```
# inside the virtual machine:
- mkdir data
cd build
- wget --no-verbose --output-document=../data/monaco.osm.pbf http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/monaco-latest.osm.pbf
- ./utils/setup.php --osm-file ../data/monaco.osm.pbf --osm2pgsql-cache 1000 --all 2>&1 | tee monaco.$$.log
+ wget --no-verbose --output-document=/tmp/monaco.osm.pbf http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/monaco-latest.osm.pbf
+ ./utils/setup.php --osm-file /tmp/monaco.osm.pbf --osm2pgsql-cache 1000 --all 2>&1 | tee monaco.$$.log
```
To repeat an import you'd need to delete the database first
You edit code on your host machine in any editor you like. There is no need to
restart any software: just refresh your browser window.
+Note that the webserver uses files from the /build directory. If you change
+files in Nominatim/lib for example you first need to copy them into the
+/build directory.
+
PHP errors are written to `/var/log/apache2/error.log`.
With `echo` and `var_dump()` you write into the output (HTML/XML/JSON) when
you either add `&debug=1` to the URL (preferred) or set
`@define('CONST_Debug', true);` in `settings/local.php`.
+In the Python BDD test you can use `logger.info()` for temporary debug
+statements.

+## Running unit tests
+
+ cd ~/Nominatim/tests/php
+ phpunit ./
+
+## Running PHP code style tests
+
+ cd ~/Nominatim
+ phpcs --colors .
## Running functional tests
To run the full test suite
- cd ~/Nominatim/tests
- NOMINATIM_SERVER=http://localhost:8089/nominatim lettuce features
+ cd ~/Nominatim/test/bdd
+ behave -DBUILDDIR=/home/vagrant/build/ db osm2pgsql
To run a single file
- NOMINATIM_SERVER=http://localhost:8089/nominatim lettuce features/api/reverse.feature
+ behave -DBUILDDIR=/home/vagrant/build/ features/api/reverse.feature
To run specific tests you can add tags just before the `Scenario line`, e.g.
and then
- NOMINATIM_SERVER=http://localhost:8089/nominatim lettuce -t bug-34
-
-
-## Running unit tests
-
- cd ~/Nominatim/tests/php
- phpunit ./
+ behave -DBUILDDIR=/home/vagrant/build/ --tags @bug-34
Also this document skips the optional Wikipedia data import which affects ranking
of search results. See [Nominatim installation](http://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/Installation) for details.

+##### Why Ubuntu? Can I test CentOS/Fedora/CoreOS/FreeBSD?
-There is a Vagrant script for CentOS available. Simply start your box
-with `vagrant up centos` and then log in with `vagrant ssh centos`.
-In general Nominatim will also run in the other environments. The installation steps
+There is a Vagrant script for CentOS available, but the Nominatim directory
+isn't symlinked/mounted to the host which makes development trickier. We used
+it mainly for debugging installation with SELinux.
+
+In general Nominatim will run in the other environments. The installation steps
are slightly different, e.g. the name of the package manager, Apache2 package
name, location of files. We chose Ubuntu because that is closest to the
nominatim.openstreetmap.org production environment.
-You can configure/download other Vagrant boxes from [vagrantbox.es](http://www.vagrantbox.es/).

##### How can I connect to an existing database?
pgsql://postgres@your-server.com:5432/nominatim_it
-No data import necessary, no restarting necessary.
+No data import necessary or restarting necessary.
If the Postgres installation is behind a firewall, you can try
inside the virtual machine. It will map the port to `localhost:9999` and then
you edit `settings/local.php` with
- pgsql://postgres@localhost:9999/nominatim_it
+ @define('CONST_Database_DSN', 'pgsql://postgres@localhost:9999/nominatim_it');
To access postgres directly remember to specify the hostname, e.g. `psql --host localhost --port 9999 nominatim_it`
##### My computer is slow and the import takes too long. Can I start the virtual machine "in the cloud"?
-Yes. It's possible to start the virtual machine on [Amazon AWS (plugin)](https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-aws) or [DigitalOcean (plugin)](https://github.com/smdahlen/vagrant-digitalocean).
