Currently Openstreetmap l10n uses the Python as well as Lua programming language which unfortunatelly somewhat complicates the installation procedure.
On Debian/Ubuntu (Currently tested on Debian 12) the most easy path for installation is as follows:
This code will not work with lua versions below 5.3!
apt install libunac1-dev luarocks lua5.3 liblua5.3-dev build-essential debhelper
apt install python3-venv libicu-dev libpython3-dev
On Debian/Ubuntu just call make deb after installing Python and Lua
prerequisites inside base and lua_unac directories.
To do this the dpkg-dev package has to be installed.
dpkg-buildpackage might complain about further dependencies in this
process. Just install them as requested in this case.
This will give you two Debian packages which should be installed on the system:
sudo dpkg -i lua-unaccent_*.deb
sudo dpkg -i ../osml10n_*_all.deb
Afterwards python stuff needs to be installed using pip and venv. Using sudo this will install all required stuff into /usr/local/osml10n and copy the systemd service file into /etc/systemd/system and enable it:
sudo make install-daemon
To test if your installation is working as expected call make test
afterwards.
Make sure that the transcription-daemon is running while running tests
(systemctl start osml10n)
If you get errors while calling make test please report them on Github.
I am particularly interested in problems regarding the current LTS versions of Ubuntu and other Linux distributions than Debian stable as I am not using them myself.
If you inted to use this code for rendering a localized version of Openstreetmap Carto calling osm2pgsql as follows should work (on a machine also running the transcription-daemon):
Have a look at https://osm2pgsql.org/doc/ for further information.
This will require osm2pgsql version 1.7.0 or newer!
osm2pgsql -G -s -O flex -d osm -S openstreetmap-carto-hstore-only-l10n.lua planet.osm.pbf
