Installing PostGIS

`PostGIS`_ adds geographic object support to PostgreSQL, turning it
into a spatial database. :ref:`geosbuild`, :ref:`proj4` and
:ref:`gdalbuild` should be installed prior to building PostGIS. You
might also need additional libraries, see `PostGIS requirements`_.
.. note::
The `psycopg2`_ module is required for use as the database adapter
when using GeoDjango with PostGIS.

The `psycopg2`_ module is required for use as the database adapter when using
GeoDjango with PostGIS.
On Debian/Ubuntu, you are advised to install the following packages:
postgresql-x.x, postgresql-x.x-postgis, postgresql-server-dev-x.x,
python-psycopg2 (x.x matching the PostgreSQL version you want to install).
Please also consult platform-specific instructions if you are on :ref:`macosx`
or :ref:`windows`.
Alternately, you can `build from source`_. Consult the platform-specific
instructions if you are on :ref:`macosx` or :ref:`windows`.
Building from source
====================
First download the source archive, and extract::
$ wget http://download.osgeo.org/postgis/source/postgis-2.1.5.tar.gz
$ tar xzf postgis-2.1.5.tar.gz
$ cd postgis-2.1.5
Next, configure, make and install PostGIS::
$ ./configure
Finally, make and install::
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..
.. note::
GeoDjango does not automatically create a spatial database. Please consult
the section on :ref:`spatialdb_template91` for more information.
