+## Installation
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Nominatim requires [osm2pgsql](https://osm2pgsql.org/) (>=1.8) for reading
+OSM data and [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) to store the data.
+
+On Ubuntu (>=23.04) and Debian (using backports), you can install them with:
+
+ sudo apt-get install osm2pgsql postgresql-postgis
+
+### Installation from pypi
+
+To install Nominatim from pypi, run:
+
+ pip install nominatim-db
+
+
+## Quick start
+
+First create a project directory for your new Nominatim database, which
+is the space for additional configuration and customization:
+
+ mkdir planet-project
+
+Download an appropriate data extract, for example from
+[Geofabrik](https://download.geofabrik.de/) and import the file:
+
+ nominatim import --osm-file <downlaoded-osm-data.pbf>
+
+You will need to install the 'nominatim-api' package to query the
+database.
