+After installing but before creating any users or data, import an extract with [Osmosis](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis) and the [``--write-apidb``](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage#--write-apidb_.28--wd.29) task.

+```
+osmosis --read-pbf greater-london-latest.osm.pbf \
+  --write-apidb host="localhost" database="openstreetmap" \
+  user="openstreetmap" password="" validateSchemaVersion="no"
+```
+
+Loading an apidb database with Osmosis is about **twenty** times slower than loading the equivalent data with osm2pgsql into a rendering database. [``--log-progress``](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage#--log-progress_.28--lp.29) may be desirable for status updates.

+To be able to edit the data you have loaded, you will need to use this [yet-to-be-written script](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/282).

 * Passenger will, by design, use the Production environment and therefore the production database - make sure it contains the appropriate data and user accounts.
 * Your production database will also need the extensions and functions installed - see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md)
 * The included version of the map call is quite slow and eats a lot of memory. You should consider using [CGIMap](https://github.com/zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap) instead.
