  <title>PostGIS Installation</title>

	This chapter details the steps required to install PostGIS.
  </para>

  <sect1 id="install_short_version">
	<title>Short Version</title>
	<para>To compile assuming you have all the dependencies in your search path:</para>
	<programlisting>tar xvfz postgis-&last_release_version;.tar.gz
cd postgis-&last_release_version;
./configure
make
make install</programlisting>
	<para>Once postgis is installed, it needs to be enabled in each individual database you want to use it in.</para>
	<note><para>The raster support is currently optional, but installed by default. For enabling using the PostgreSQL 9.1+ extensions model raster is required. Using the extension enable process is preferred and more user-friendly. To spatially enable your database:</para></note>
	<programlisting>psql -d yourdatabase -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis;"
psql -d yourdatabase -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;"
-- if you built with sfcgal support --
psql -d yourdatabase -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis_sfcgal;"

-- if you want to install tiger geocoder --
psql -d yourdatabase -c "CREATE EXTENSION fuzzystrmatch"
psql -d yourdatabase -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis_tiger_geocoder;"

-- if you installed with pcre
-- you should have address standardizer extension as well
psql -d yourdatabase -c "CREATE EXTENSION address_standardizer;"
</programlisting>


	<para>Please refer to <xref linkend="make_install_postgis_extensions" /> for more details about querying installed/available extensions and upgrading extensions, or switching from a non-extension install to an extension install.</para>

	<para>For those running who decided for some reason not to compile with raster support, or just are old-fashioned, here are longer more painful instructions for you:</para>
	<para>All the .sql files once installed will be installed in share/contrib/postgis-&last_minor_version; folder
		of your PostgreSQL install</para>

	<programlisting>createdb yourdatabase
createlang plpgsql yourdatabase
psql -d yourdatabase -f postgis.sql
psql -d yourdatabase -f postgis_comments.sql
psql -d yourdatabase -f spatial_ref_sys.sql
psql -d yourdatabase -f topology.sql
psql -d yourdatabase -f topology_comments.sql

-- only if you compiled with raster (GDAL)
psql -d yourdatabase -f rtpostgis.sql
psql -d yourdatabase -f raster_comments.sql

--if you built with sfcgal support --
psql -d yourdatabase -f sfcgal.sql
psql -d yourdatabase -f sfcgal_comments.sql
</programlisting>

	<para>
	  The rest of this chapter goes into detail each of the above installation
	  steps.
	</para>

	<para>As of PostGIS 2.1.3, out-of-db rasters and all raster drivers are disabled by default. In order to re-enable these, you need to set the following environment variables
	<varname>POSTGIS_GDAL_ENABLED_DRIVERS</varname> and <varname>POSTGIS_ENABLE_OUTDB_RASTERS</varname> in the server environment. For PostGIS 2.2, you can use the more cross-platform approach of setting the corresponding <xref linkend="PostGIS_GUC" />.</para>

	<para>If you want to enable offline raster:</para>
	<programlisting>POSTGIS_ENABLE_OUTDB_RASTERS=1</programlisting>
	<para>Any other setting or no setting at all will disable out of db rasters.</para>
	<para>In order to enable all GDAL drivers available in your GDAL install, set this environment variable as follows</para>
	<programlisting>POSTGIS_GDAL_ENABLED_DRIVERS=ENABLE_ALL</programlisting>
	<para>If you want to only enable specific drivers, set your environment variable as follows:</para>
	<programlisting>POSTGIS_GDAL_ENABLED_DRIVERS="GTiff PNG JPEG GIF XYZ"</programlisting>

	<note><para>If you are on windows, do not quote the driver list</para></note>

	<para>Setting environment variables varies depending on OS.  For PostgreSQL installed on Ubuntu or Debian via apt-postgresql, the preferred way is to
	edit <filename>/etc/postgresql/<replaceable>9.3</replaceable>/<replaceable>main</replaceable>/environment</filename> where 9.3 refers to version of PostgreSQL and main refers to the cluster.</para>

	<para>On windows, if you are running as a service, you can set via System variables which for Windows 7 you can get to by right-clicking on Computer-&gt;Properties Advanced System Settings or in explorer navigating to <varname>Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System</varname>.
	Then clicking <emphasis>Advanced System Settings -&gt;Advanced->Environment Variables</emphasis> and adding new system variables.</para>
	<para>After you set the environment variables, you'll need to restart your PostgreSQL service for the changes to take effect.</para>

	  <emphasis role="bold">Required</emphasis>
	</para>

	<itemizedlist>
	  <listitem>
		<para>
		  PostgreSQL &min_postgres_version; or higher. A complete installation
		  of PostgreSQL (including server headers) is required. PostgreSQL
		  is available from
		  <ulink url="http://www.postgresql.org">
			http://www.postgresql.org
		  </ulink>
		  .
		</para>
		<para>For a full PostgreSQL / PostGIS support matrix and PostGIS/GEOS support matrix refer to

		</para>
	  </listitem>

	  <listitem>
		<para>
		  GNU C compiler (<filename>gcc</filename>). Some other ANSI C compilers
		  can be used to compile PostGIS, but we find far fewer problems when
		  compiling with <filename>gcc</filename>.
		</para>
	  </listitem>

	  <listitem>
		<para>
		  GNU Make (<filename>gmake</filename> or <filename>make</filename>).
		  For many systems, GNU <filename>make</filename> is the default version
		  of make. Check the version by invoking <filename>make -v</filename>.
		  Other versions of <filename>make</filename> may not process the
		  PostGIS <filename>Makefile</filename> properly.
		</para>
	  </listitem>

	  <listitem>
		<para>
		  Proj4 reprojection library, version 4.6.0 or greater. The Proj4
		  library is used to provide coordinate reprojection support within
		  PostGIS. Proj4 is available for download from
		  <ulink url="http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/">
			http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/
		  </ulink>
		  .
		</para>
	  </listitem>

	  <listitem>
		<para>
		  GEOS geometry library, version 3.3 or greater, but GEOS 3.5+ is recommended to take full advantage of all the new functions and features.  Without GEOS 3.5,
			you will be missing some major enhancements such as <xref linkend="ST_ClipByBox2D" /> and <xref linkend="ST_Subdivide" />. GEOS is available for download from
		  <ulink url="http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/">
			http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/
		  </ulink> and 3.4+ is backward-compatible with older versions so fairly safe to upgrade.
		</para>
	  </listitem>
	  <listitem>
		<para>
		  LibXML2, version 2.5.x or higher. LibXML2 is currently used in some imports
		  functions (ST_GeomFromGML and ST_GeomFromKML). LibXML2 is available for download from
		  <ulink url="http://xmlsoft.org/downloads.html">http://xmlsoft.org/downloads.html</ulink>.
		</para>
	  </listitem>
	  <listitem>
		<para>
		  JSON-C, version 0.9 or higher. JSON-C is currently used to import GeoJSON via the
		  function ST_GeomFromGeoJson. JSON-C is available for download from
		  <ulink url="https://github.com/json-c/json-c/releases">https://github.com/json-c/json-c/releases/</ulink>.
		</para>
	  </listitem>

	  <listitem>
		<para>
		  GDAL, version 1.8 or higher (1.9 or higher is strongly recommended since some things will not work well or behavior differently with lower versions).  This is required for raster support and to be able to install with <code>CREATE EXTENSION postgis</code> so highly recommended for those running 9.1+.
		  <ulink url="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource">http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource</ulink>.
		</para>

	<para>
	  <emphasis role="bold">Optional</emphasis>
	</para>

	<itemizedlist>
	  <listitem>
		<para>
		  GDAL (pseudo optional) only if you don't want raster and don't care about installing with <code>CREATE EXTENSION postgis</code> can you leave it out.
		  Keep in mind other extensions may have a requires postgis extension which will prevent you from installing them unless you install postgis as an extension. So it is highly recommended you compile with GDAL support.
		</para>
		<para>Also make sure to enable the drivers you want to use as described in <xref linkend="install_short_version" />.</para>
	  </listitem>
	  <listitem>
		<para>
		  GTK (requires GTK+2.0, 2.8+) to compile the shp2pgsql-gui shape file loader.
		  <ulink url="http://www.gtk.org/">

but you can download the latest at: <ulink url="http://www.pcre.org">http://www.pcre.org</ulink>. If during <xref linkend="installation_configuration" />, PCRE is found, then the address standardizer extension will automatically be built.

			<para>One of the many complaints of folks is the address normalizer function <xref linkend="Normalize_Address" /> function that normalizes an address for prepping before geocoding.  The normalizer is far from perfect and trying to patch its imperfectness takes a vast amount of resources.  As such we have integrated with another

			<para>Once you install this extension in the same database as you have installed <code>postgis_tiger_geocoder</code>, then the <xref linkend="Pagc_Normalize_Address" /> can be used instead of <xref linkend="Normalize_Address" />. This extension is tiger agnostic, so can be used with other data sources such as international addresses. The tiger geocoder extension does come packaged with its own custom versions of <xref linkend="rulestab" /> ( <code>tiger.pagc_rules</code>) , <xref linkend="gaztab" /> (<code>tiger.pagc_gaz</code>), and <xref linkend="lextab" /> (<code>tiger.pagc_lex</code>).

		an invalid SRID value. Valid SRID values are bigger than 0
		and smaller than 999000. Values in the 999000.999999 range
    are reserved for internal use while values > 999999 can't
    be used at all.
    All your custom records with invalid SRIDs will be retained,
    with those > 999999 moved into the reserved range, but the
    spatial_ref_sys table would lose a check constraint guarding
    for that invariant to hold and possibly also its primary key
    ( when multiple invalid SRIDS get converted to the same reserved
    SRID value ).
  </para>

  <para>
		In order to fix this you should copy your custom SRS to
		a SRID with a valid value (maybe in the 910000..910999
		range), convert all your tables to the new srid (see
		<xref linkend="UpdateGeometrySRID"/>), delete the invalid
		entry from spatial_ref_sys and re-construct the check(s) with:

		<programlisting>ALTER TABLE spatial_ref_sys ADD CONSTRAINT spatial_ref_sys_srid_check check (srid &gt; 0 AND srid &lt; 999000 );</programlisting>

		<programlisting>ALTER TABLE spatial_ref_sys ADD PRIMARY KEY(srid));</programlisting>

	<title>Common Problems during installation</title>
	<para>
	  There are several things to check when your installation or upgrade
	  doesn't go as you expected.
	</para>

	<orderedlist>
	  <listitem>
		<para>
		  Check that you have installed PostgreSQL &min_postgres_version;
		  or newer, and that you are compiling against the same version of the
		  PostgreSQL source as the version of PostgreSQL that is running.
		  Mix-ups can occur when your (Linux) distribution has already
		  installed PostgreSQL, or you have otherwise installed PostgreSQL
		  before and forgotten about it. PostGIS will only work with PostgreSQL
		  &min_postgres_version; or newer, and strange, unexpected
		  error messages will result if you use an older version. To check the
		  version of PostgreSQL which is running, connect to the database using
		  psql and run this query:
		</para>

		<programlisting>SELECT version();</programlisting>

		<para>
		  If you are running an RPM based distribution, you can check for the
		  existence of pre-installed packages using the <command>rpm</command>
		  command as follows: <command>rpm -qa | grep postgresql</command>
		</para>
	  </listitem>

	  <listitem>
		<para>If your upgrade fails, make sure you are restoring into a database that already has PostGIS installed.</para>
		<programlisting>SELECT postgis_full_version();</programlisting>
	  </listitem>
	</orderedlist>

	<para>
	  Also check that configure has correctly detected the location and version
	  of PostgreSQL, the Proj4 library and the GEOS library.
	</para>

	<orderedlist>
	  <listitem>
		<para>
		  The output from configure is used to generate the
		  <filename>postgis_config.h</filename> file. Check that the
		  <varname>POSTGIS_PGSQL_VERSION</varname>,
		  <varname>POSTGIS_PROJ_VERSION</varname> and
		  <varname>POSTGIS_GEOS_VERSION</varname> variables have been set
		  correctly.
		</para>
	  </listitem>
	</orderedlist>
  </sect1>

  <sect1>
	<title>Loader/Dumper</title>

	<para>
	  The data loader and dumper are built and installed automatically as part
	  of the PostGIS build. To build and install them manually:
	</para>

	<programlisting># cd postgis-&last_release_version;/loader
# make
# make install</programlisting>

	<para>
	  The loader is called <filename>shp2pgsql</filename> and converts ESRI
	  Shape files into SQL suitable for loading in PostGIS/PostgreSQL. The
	  dumper is called <filename>pgsql2shp</filename> and converts PostGIS
	  tables (or queries) into ESRI Shape files. For more verbose documentation,
	  see the online help, and the manual pages.
