Installing PostGIS on Ubuntu

Filed on January 30th, 2008 at 5:29 pm under , , , , , , | 9 Comments 

With this post I will show how to install PostGIS 1.2.1 on Postgres 8.2.5 in Ubuntu 7.10 (but this procedure should work also for previous PostGIS/Postgres/Ubuntu versions) from repositories.
I will also show you how to load and secure GIS data and how to access them with some cool OS GIS Client (QGIS, UDig and gvSIG).
If you use this instructions together with my previous post, you will have a fully functional GIS Server Open Source Ubuntu workstation!

-1- Install Postgres

If you haven't Postgres, you need to install it (PostGIS runs on top of it). Open an Ubuntu terminal, and type:

sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-client postgresql-contrib pgadmin3
sudo apt-get install postgresql pgadmin3

Postgres (8.2.5) will be now on your Ubuntu box.
