How to install PostGIS 2.0 on Ubuntu 13.04 (raring) from packages
Install
Add PPA using:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
Now open 'Software & Updates' and go to the tab 'Other Software' and change the distribution for http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu from 'raring' to 'quantal'. Otherwise you will get the following error message:
ERROR: could not open extension control file "/usr/local/PostgreSQL/9.2/share/postgresql/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
Install packages using the following commands:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install postgis postgresql-9.1-postgis
Spatially enabling a database
Connect to your database using pgAdmin or psql, and run the following commands. To add postgis with raster support:
CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
To add topology support, a second extension can be created on the database:
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;
