Nominatim Setup.php : ERROR: Scripts must be run from build directory

0

i'm trying to setup my own nominatim server in a CentOS 7 VirtualMachine. I'm using this guide which is followed here for data import.

This line gives me trouble when trying to import data:

./utils/setup.php --osm-file <_data_file_> --all

When executing the above command, the output says "ERROR: Scripts must be run from build directory.".

Which one would be the build directory?

I tried running from nominatim root directory, utils, and data, but no luck.

Best regards, Federico.

The guide has a couple of lines mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make. While the build directory could be anywhere in the filesystem, it's usually a subdirectory of the Nominatim directory, so a cd build, then ./utils/setup.php...
