# osm2pgsql



https://osm2pgsql.org



osm2pgsql is a tool for loading OpenStreetMap data into a PostgreSQL / PostGIS

database suitable for applications like rendering into a map, geocoding with

Nominatim, or general analysis.



See the [documentation](https://osm2pgsql.org/doc/) for instructions on how

to install and run osm2pgsql.

## Features



* Converts OSM files to a PostgreSQL DB

* Conversion of tags to columns is configurable in the style file

* Able to read .gz, .bz2, .pbf and .o5m files directly

* Can apply diffs to keep the database up to date

* Support the choice of output projection

* Configurable table names

* Support for hstore field type to store the complete set of tags in one database

  field if desired



## Installing



Most Linux distributions include osm2pgsql. It is available on macOS with

[Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) and Windows builds are also available. See

https://osm2pgsql.org/doc/install.html for details.



## Building



The latest source code is available in the osm2pgsql git repository on GitHub

and can be downloaded as follows:



```sh

git clone https://github.com/openstreetmap/osm2pgsql.git

```



Osm2pgsql uses the cross-platform [CMake build system](https://cmake.org/)

to configure and build itself.



Required libraries are



* [CLI11](https://github.com/CLIUtils/CLI11)

* [expat](https://libexpat.github.io/)

* [proj](https://proj.org/)

* [bzip2](http://www.bzip.org/)

* [zlib](https://www.zlib.net/)

* [Boost libraries](https://www.boost.org/) (for boost geometry)

* [nlohmann/json](https://json.nlohmann.me/)

* [OpenCV](https://opencv.org/) (Optional, for generalization only)

* [potrace](https://potrace.sourceforge.net/) (Optional, for generalization only)

* [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) client libraries

* [Lua](https://www.lua.org/)

* [Python](https://python.org/) (only for running tests)

* [Psycopg](https://www.psycopg.org/) (only for running tests)



The following libraries are included in the `contrib` directory. You can build

with other versions of those libraries (set the `EXTERNAL_*libname*` option to

`ON`) but make sure you are using a compatible version:



* [fmt](https://fmt.dev/) (>= 7.1.3)

* [libosmium](https://osmcode.org/libosmium/) (>= 2.17.0)

* [protozero](https://github.com/mapbox/protozero) (>= 1.6.3)



It also requires access to a database server running

[PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) (version 9.6+ works, 13+ strongly

recommended) and [PostGIS](https://www.postgis.net/) (version 2.5+).



Make sure you have installed the development packages for the libraries

mentioned in the requirements section and a C++ compiler which supports C++17.

We officially support gcc >= 8.0 and clang >= 8.



To rebuild the included man page you'll need the [pandoc](https://pandoc.org/)

tool.



First install the dependencies.



On a Debian or Ubuntu system, this can be done with:



```sh

sudo apt-get install make cmake g++ libboost-dev \

  libexpat1-dev zlib1g-dev libpotrace-dev \

  libopencv-dev libbz2-dev libpq-dev libproj-dev lua5.3 liblua5.3-dev \

  pandoc nlohmann-json3-dev pyosmium

```



On a Fedora system, use



```sh

sudo dnf install cmake make gcc-c++ libtool boost-devel bzip2-devel \

  expat-devel fmt-devel json-devel libpq-devel lua-devel zlib-devel \

  potrace-devel opencv-devel python3-osmium \

  postgresql-devel proj-devel proj-epsg pandoc

```



On RedHat / CentOS first run `sudo yum install epel-release` then install

dependencies with:



```sh

sudo yum install cmake make gcc-c++ boost-devel expat-devel zlib-devel \

  potrace-devel opencv-devel json-devel python3-osmium \

  bzip2-devel postgresql-devel proj-devel proj-epsg lua-devel pandoc

```



On a FreeBSD system, use



```sh

pkg install devel/cmake devel/boost-libs textproc/expat2 \

  databases/postgresql94-client graphics/proj lang/lua52

```



On Alpine, use



```sh

apk --update-cache add cmake make g++ nlohmann-json \

  postgresql-dev boost-dev expat-dev bzip2-dev zlib-dev \

  libpq proj-dev lua5.3-dev luajit-dev

```



Once dependencies are installed, use CMake to build the Makefiles in a separate

folder:



```sh

mkdir build && cd build

cmake ..

```



If some installed dependencies are not found by CMake, more options may need

to be set. Typically, setting `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` to a list of appropriate

paths is sufficient.



When the Makefiles have been successfully built, compile with



```sh

make

```



The man page can be rebuilt with:



```sh

make man

```



The compiled files can be installed with



```sh

sudo make install

```



To install the experimental `osm2pgsql-gen` binary use



```sh

sudo make install-gen

```



By default, the Release build with debug info is created and no tests are

compiled. You can change that behavior by using additional options like

following:



```sh

cmake .. -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBUILD_TESTS=ON

```



Note that `Debug` builds will be much slower than release build. For production

`Release` or `RelWithDebInfo` builds are recommended.



### Using the PROJ library



Osm2pgsql has builtin support for the Latlong (WGS84, EPSG:4326) and the

WebMercator (EPSG:3857) projection. Other projections are supported through

the [Proj library](https://proj.org/) which is used by default. Set the CMake

option `WITH_PROJ` to `OFF` to disable use of that library.



## Using LuaJIT



To speed up Lua tag transformations, [LuaJIT](https://luajit.org/) can be

optionally enabled on supported platforms. This can speed up processing

considerably.



On a Debian or Ubuntu system install the LuaJIT library:



```sh

sudo apt-get install libluajit-5.1-dev

```



Configuration parameter `WITH_LUAJIT=ON` needs to be added to enable LuaJIT.

Otherwise make and installation steps are identical to the description above.



```sh

cmake -D WITH_LUAJIT=ON ..

```



Use `osm2pgsql --version` to verify that the build includes LuaJIT support.

The output should show something like



```

Lua 5.1.4 (LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3)

```



## Generalization



There is some experimental support for data generalization. See

https://osm2pgsql.org/generalization/ for details.
