You will need a resourceful server with at least

• 200G RAM for planet
• 60G RAM for Europe.

I used flexo for preprocessing CH.

Prerequisites

git clone https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend.git
cd osrm-backend/
mkdir -p build
cd build/
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build .

wget http://planet.osm.org/pbf/planet-latest.osm.pbf

Profiles define routing behaviour (turn restrictions etc).

Then decide which routing type you want: Dijkstra or Contraction hierarchies:

osrm-extract -p profiles/car.lua the.osm.pbf
osrm-contract the.osrm

Preprocessing the planet file takes about

• ~3 hours for extracting planet data
• ~10 for contracting planet data

osrm-extract -p profiles/car.lua  the.osm.pbf
osrm-partition the.osrm
osrm-customize the.osrm

https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/wiki/Running-OSRM

A tinier server is sufficient here.

For planet you'll need > 100G RAM.

For Europe I used one with 64G RAM.

Prerequisites

git clone https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend.git
cd osrm-backend/
mkdir -p build
cd build/
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build .

# and install

sudo cmake --build . --target install

# uninstall is possible too

sudo cmake –build . –target uninstall

osrm-routed --algorithm=ch  --max-table-size=1000  the.osrm # to allow for bigger distance matrix

osrm-routed –algorithm=MLD the.osrm
