+# Advanced installations
+
+This page contains instructions for setting up multiple countries in 
+your Nominatim database. It is assumed that you have already successfully
+installed the Nominatim software itself, if not return to the 
+[installation page](Installation.md).
+
+## Importing multiple regions
+
+To import multiple regions in your database, you need to configure and run `utils/import_multiple_regions.sh` file. This script will set up the update directory which has the following structure:
+
+```bash
+update
+    ├── europe
+    │   ├── andorra
+    │   │   └── sequence.state
+    │   └── monaco
+    │       └── sequence.state
+    └── tmp
+        ├── combined.osm.pbf
+        └── europe
+                ├── andorra-latest.osm.pbf
+                └── monaco-latest.osm.pbf
+
+
+```
+
+The `sequence.state` files will contain the sequence ID, which will be used by pyosmium to get updates. The tmp folder is used for import dump.
+
+### Configuring multiple regions
+
+The file `import_multiple_regions.sh` needs to be edited as per your requirement:
+
+1. List of countries. eg:
+
+        COUNTRIES="europe/monaco europe/andorra"
+
+2. Path to Build directory. eg:
+
+        NOMINATIMBUILD="/srv/nominatim/build"
+
+3. Path to Update directory. eg:
+        
+        UPDATEDIR="/srv/nominatim/update"
+
+4. Replication URL. eg:
+    
+        BASEURL="https://download.geofabrik.de"
+        DOWNCOUNTRYPOSTFIX="-latest.osm.pbf"
+ 
+!!! tip
+    If your database already exists and you want to add more countries, replace the setting up part
+    `${SETUPFILE} --osm-file ${UPDATEDIR}/tmp/combined.osm.pbf --all 2>&1`
+    with `${UPDATEFILE} --import-file ${UPDATEDIR}/tmp/combined.osm.pbf 2>&1`.
+
+### Setting up multiple regions
+
+Run the following command from your Nominatim directory after configuring the file.
+
+    bash ./utils/import_multiple_regions.sh
+
+!!! danger "Important"
+        This file uses osmium-tool. It must be installed before executing the import script.
+        Installation instructions can be found [here](https://osmcode.org/osmium-tool/manual.html#installation).
+
+## Updating multiple regions
+
+To import multiple regions in your database, you need to configure and run ```utils/update_database.sh```.
+This uses the update directory set up while setting up the DB.   
+
+### Configuring multiple regions
+
+The file `update_database.sh` needs to be edited as per your requirement:
+
+1. List of countries. eg:
+
+        COUNTRIES="europe/monaco europe/andorra"
+
+2. Path to Build directory. eg:
+
+        NOMINATIMBUILD="/srv/nominatim/build"
+
+3. Path to Update directory. eg:
+        
+        UPDATEDIR="/srv/nominatim/update"
+
+4. Replication URL. eg:
+    
+        BASEURL="https://download.geofabrik.de"
+        DOWNCOUNTRYPOSTFIX="-updates"
+
+5. Followup can be set according to your installation. eg: For Photon,
+
+        FOLLOWUP="curl http://localhost:2322/nominatim-update"
+
+    will handle the indexing.
+
+### Updating the database
+
+Run the following command from your Nominatim directory after configuring the file.
+
+    bash ./utils/update_database.sh
+
+This will get diffs from the replication server, import diffs and index the database. The default replication server in the script([Geofabric](https://download.geofabrik.de)) provides daily updates.
+
+## Verification and further setup
+
+Instructions for import verification and other details like importing Wikidata can be found in [import and update page](Import-and-Update.md)
