# Nominatim - Frontend Library
Nominatim is a tool to search OpenStreetMap data
by name and address (geocoding) and to generate synthetic addresses of
OSM points (reverse geocoding).
This module implements the library for searching a Nominatim database
imported with the [`nominatim-db`](https://pypi.org/project/nominatim-db/) package.
## Installation
To install the Nominatim API from pypi, run:
pip install nominatim-api
## Running a Nominatim server
You need Falcon or Starlette to run Nominatim as a service, as well as
an ASGI-capable server like uvicorn. To install them from pypi run:
pip install falcon uvicorn
You need to have a Nominatim database imported with the 'nominatim-db'
package. Go to the project directory, then run uvicorn as:
uvicorn --factory nominatim.server.falcon.server:run_wsgi
