Installing Tiger housenumber data for the US
1. Install the GDAL library and python bindings
- Ubuntu: apt-get install python-gdal
- CentOS: yum install gdal-python
+ * Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install python-gdal`
+ * CentOS: `sudo yum install gdal-python`
2. Get the TIGER 2015 data. You will need the EDGES files
- (3,234 zip files, 11GB total).
+ (3,234 zip files, 11GB total). Choose one of the two sources:
- wget -r ftp://mirror1.shellbot.com/census/geo/tiger/TIGER2015/EDGES/
- (1gb/s preferred mirror) MIRROR HOSTED BY SHELLBOT, LTD.
+ wget -r ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2015/EDGES/
+ wget -r ftp://mirror1.shellbot.com/census/geo/tiger/TIGER2015/EDGES/
- OR:
-
- wget -r ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2015/EDGES/
- (500kb/s original source) HOSTED BY THE US CENSUS BUREAU
+ The first one is the original source, the second a considerably faster
+ mirror.
3. Convert the data into SQL statements (stored in data/tiger):
- ./utils/imports.php --parse-tiger <tiger edge data directory>
+ ./utils/imports.php --parse-tiger <tiger edge data directory>
4. Import the data into your Nominatim database:
- ./utils/setup.php --import-tiger-data
+ ./utils/setup.php --import-tiger-data
Be warned that the import can take a very long time, especially if you
import all of the US.
There are many different possibilities to update your Nominatim database.
