The most common solution is to properly configure your :ref:`libsettings` *or* set

:ref:`geoslibrarypath` in your settings.

If using a binary package of GEOS (e.g., on Ubuntu 8.10), you may need to :ref:`binutils`.

If using a binary package of GEOS (e.g., on Ubuntu), you may need to :ref:`binutils`.

.. _geoslibrarypath:

First download the latest GDAL release version and untar the archive::

    $ wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-1.7.3.tar.gz

    $ tar xzf gdal-1.7.3.tar.gz

    $ cd gdal-1.7.3

    $ wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-1.8.0.tar.gz

    $ tar xzf gdal-1.8.0.tar.gz

    $ cd gdal-1.8.0

Configure, make and install::

   whereas version 1.4 uses ``<sharedir>/contrib/postgis.sql`` and

   version 1.5 uses ``<sharedir>/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis.sql``.

   To complicate matters, :ref:`ubuntudebian` distributions have their

   own separate directory naming system that changes each release.

   The example below assumes PostGIS 1.5, thus you may need to modify

   ``POSTGIS_SQL_PATH`` and the name of the SQL file for the specific

   version of PostGIS you are using.

Once you're a database super user, then you may execute the following commands

to create a PostGIS spatial database template.  If running Ubuntu :ref:`ibex`

or Debian :ref:`lenny`, please refer to their specific documentation for

modifications to these commands::

to create a PostGIS spatial database template::

    $ POSTGIS_SQL_PATH=`pg_config --sharedir`/contrib/postgis-1.5

    # Creating the template spatial database.

1.3              `create_template_postgis-1.3.sh`_

1.4              `create_template_postgis-1.4.sh`_

1.5              `create_template_postgis-1.5.sh`_

Debian/Ubuntu    `create_template_postgis-debian.sh`_

===============  ==========================================

Afterwards, you may create a spatial database by simply specifying

Ubuntu & Debian GNU/Linux

-------------------------

.. note::

    The PostGIS SQL files are not placed the PostgreSQL share directory in the

    Debian and Ubuntu packages, and are located instead special directory

    depending on the release.  Thus, when :ref:`spatialdb_template` use the 

    `create_template_postgis-debian.sh`_ script instead

8.04 and lower

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

10.04 and 10.10

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The 8.04 (and lower) versions of Ubuntu use GEOS v2.2.3 in their binary packages,

which is incompatible with GeoDjango.  Thus, do *not* use the binary packages

for GEOS or PostGIS and build some prerequisites from source, per the instructions

in this document; however, it is okay to use the PostgreSQL binary packages.

In Ubuntu 10 PostgreSQL was upgraded to 8.4 and GDAL was upgraded to 1.6.

Ubuntu 10.04 uses PostGIS 1.4, while Ubuntu 10.10 uses PostGIS 1.5 (with

geography support).  The installation commands are::

For more details, please see the Debian instructions for :ref:`etch` below.

    $ sudo apt-get install binutils gdal-bin postgresql-8.4-postgis \

         postgresql-server-dev-8.4 python-psycopg2 python-setuptools

    $ sudo easy_install Django

.. _ibex:

Use the synaptic package manager to install the following packages::

    $ sudo apt-get install binutils libgdal1-1.5.0 postgresql-8.3-postgis \

    $ sudo apt-get install binutils gdal-bin postgresql-8.3-postgis \

        postgresql-server-dev-8.3 python-psycopg2 python-setuptools

Afterwards, you may install Django with Python's ``easy_install`` script (the

* ``gdal-bin``: for GDAL command line programs like ``ogr2ogr``

* ``python-gdal`` for GDAL's own Python bindings -- includes interfaces for raster manipulation

10.04

~~~~~

In Ubuntu 10.04 LTS PostgreSQL was upgraded to 8.4, as was GDAL, which is now

at version 1.6.0. Because of that, the package installation mentioned above

has to be slightly changed::

	$ sudo apt-get install binutils libgdal1-1.6.0 postgresql-8.4-postgis \

        postgresql-server-dev-8.4 python-psycopg2 python-setuptools

.. note::

    The Ubuntu ``proj`` package does not come with the datum shifting files

    installed, which will cause problems with the geographic admin because

    the ``null`` datum grid is not available for transforming geometries to the

    spherical mercator projection. A solution is to download the

    datum-shifting files, create the grid file, and install it yourself::

    On this version of Ubuntu the ``proj`` package does not come with the

    datum shifting files installed, which will cause problems with the

    geographic admin because the ``null`` datum grid is not available for

    transforming geometries to the spherical mercator projection. A solution

    is to download the datum-shifting files, create the grid file, and

    install it yourself::

        $ wget http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-1.4.tar.gz

        $ mkdir nad

    do not plan on doing any database transformation of geometries to the

    Google projection (900913).

.. note::

.. _heron:

    The PostGIS SQL files are not placed the PostgreSQL share directory in the

    Ubuntu packages.  Use the `create_template_postgis-debian.sh`_ script

    instead when :ref:`spatialdb_template`.

This version is comparable to Ubuntu :ref:`ibex`, so the command

is very similar::
