How to install PostGIS 2.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) from source
Prerequisites
Several components are needed, which can either be built from source or installed from pre-built packages, as shown below.
Install prerequisite packages using:
sudo apt-get install build-essential postgresql-8.4 postgresql-server-dev-8.4 libxml2-dev proj libjson0-dev
Optional package for raster support:
sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev
Optional packages for testing PostGIS:
sudo apt-get install libcunit1-dev
Optional packages for building documentation:
sudo apt-get install xsltproc docbook-xsl docbook-mathml imagemagick
(for building PDF documentation, add dblatex
, but expect a large download)
Build GEOS 3.3.2
PostGIS 2.0 requires GEOS >= 3.3.2 for topology support.
There are multiple ways to build GEOS, but this is the simplest:
wget http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.3.2.tar.bz2 tar xvfj geos-3.3.2.tar.bz2 cd geos-3.3.2 ./configure make sudo make install cd ..
Build PostGIS
wget http://postgis.refractions.net/download/postgis-2.0.0beta4.tar.gz tar xfvz postgis-2.0.0beta4.tar.gz cd postgis-2.0.0beta4
PostGIS 2.0 can be configured to disable topology or raster extensions, using the configure flags --without-raster
and --without-topology
. The default is to build both extensions:
./configure make sudo make install sudo ldconfig sudo make comments-install
Template
Complete a post-install by creating a template, which can be re-used for creating multiple spatially-enabled databases. Or if you just want to make one spatially enabled database, you can modify the commands for your needs.
sudo -u postgres createdb template_postgis sudo -u postgres createlang plpgsql template_postgis sudo -u postgres psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/postgis.sql sudo -u postgres psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/spatial_ref_sys.sql sudo -u postgres psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/postgis_comments.sql
Enable raster extension
Adding on to template_postgis
:
sudo -u postgres psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/rtpostgis.sql sudo -u postgres psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/raster_comments.sql
Enable topology extension
Adding on to template_postgis
:
sudo -u postgres psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/topology.sql sudo -u postgres psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/topology_comments.sql
