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

<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 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>10</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->Properties Advanced System Settings or in explorer navigating to <varname>Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System</varname>.
Then clicking <emphasis>Advanced System Settings ->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>

For GEOS functionality, when you install PostgresSQL you may need to

cause breakage of loader, you can disable it entirely with this command. Refer to ticket <ulink url="http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/748">http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/748</ulink> for an example issue solved by configuring with this.
NOTE: that you aren't missing much by turning this off. This is used for international help/label support for the GUI loader which is not yet documented
and still experimental.

<para>
If you obtained PostGIS from the SVN
<ulink url="http://svn.osgeo.org/postgis/trunk/">
repository
</ulink>
, the first step is really to run the script
</para>
<para>
<command>./autogen.sh</command>
</para>
<para>
This script will generate the <command>configure</command> script that
in turn is used to customize the installation of PostGIS.
</para>
<para>
If you instead obtained PostGIS as a tarball, running
<command>./autogen.sh</command> is not necessary as
<command>configure</command> has already been generated.

As of PostGIS v1.4.0, all the functions have comments generated from the
documentation. If you wish to install these comments into your spatial
databases later, run the command which requires docbook. The postgis_comments.sql and other
package comments files raster_comments.sql, topology_comments.sql are
also packaged in the tar.gz distribution in the doc folder so no need to make comments
if installing from the tar ball. Comments are also included as part of the CREATE EXTENSION install.

<title>Building PostGIS Extensions and Deploying them</title>
<para>
The PostGIS extensions are built and installed automatically if you are using PostgreSQL 9.1+.
</para>
<para>If you are building from source repository, you need to build the function descriptions first. These get built if you have docbook installed. You can also manually build with the statement:
</para>
<para>
<command>make comments</command>
</para>
<para>Building the comments is not necessary if you are building from a release tar ball since these are packaged pre-built with the tar ball already.</para>
<para>If you are building against PostgreSQL 9.1, the extensions should automatically build as part of the make install process. You can if needed build from the extensions
folders or copy files if you need them on a different server. </para>

<para>The extension files will always be the same for the same version of PostGIS regardless of OS, so it is fine to copy over the extension files from one OS to another as long as you
have the PostGIS binaries already installed on your servers. </para>
<para>If you want to install the extensions manually on a separate server different from your development,
You need to copy the following files from the extensions folder into the <filename>PostgreSQL / share / extension</filename> folder
of your PostgreSQL install as well as the needed binaries for regular PostGIS if you don't have them already on the server.
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
These are the control files that denote information such as the version of the extension to install if not specified.
<filename>postgis.control, postgis_topology.control</filename>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
All the files in the /sql folder of each extension. Note that these need to be copied to the root of the PostgreSQL share/extension folder
<filename>extensions/postgis/sql/*.sql</filename>, <filename>extensions/postgis_topology/sql/*.sql</filename>
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Once you do that, you should see <varname>postgis</varname>, <varname>postgis_topology</varname> as available extensions in PgAdmin -> extensions.</para>
<para>If you are using psql, you can verify that the extensions are installed by running this query:</para>
<programlisting>SELECT name, default_version,installed_version
FROM pg_available_extensions WHERE name LIKE 'postgis%' or name LIKE 'address%';
name | default_version | installed_version
------------------------------+-----------------+-------------------
address_standardizer | &last_release_version; | &last_release_version;
address_standardizer_data_us | &last_release_version; | &last_release_version;
postgis | &last_release_version; | &last_release_version;
postgis_sfcgal | &last_release_version; |
postgis_tiger_geocoder | &last_release_version; | &last_release_version;
postgis_topology | &last_release_version; |
(6 rows)</programlisting>
<para>If you have the extension installed in the database you are querying, you'll see mention in the <varname>installed_version</varname> column.
If you get no records back, it means you don't have postgis extensions installed on the server at all. PgAdmin III 1.14+ will also provide this information
in the <varname>extensions</varname> section of the database browser tree and will even allow upgrade or uninstall by right-clicking.</para>
<para>If you have the extensions available, you can install postgis extension in your database of choice by either using pgAdmin extension interface or running these sql commands:</para>
<programlisting>CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_sfcgal;
CREATE EXTENSION fuzzystrmatch; --needed for postgis_tiger_geocoder
--optional used by postgis_tiger_geocoder, or can be used standalone
CREATE EXTENSION address_standardizer;
CREATE EXTENSION address_standardizer_data_us;

<warning><para>Extension tables <varname>spatial_ref_sys</varname>, <varname>layer</varname>, <varname>topology</varname> can not be explicitly backed up. They can only
be backed up when the respective <varname>postgis</varname> or <varname>postgis_topology</varname> extension is backed up, which only seems to happen when you backup the whole database.
As of PostGIS 2.0.1, only srid records not packaged with PostGIS are backed up when the database is backed up so don't go around changing srids we package and expect your changes to be there. Put in a ticket if you find an issue. The structures of extension tables are never backed up since they are created with <code>CREATE EXTENSION</code>
and assumed to be the same for a given version of an extension. These behaviors are built into the current PostgreSQL extension model, so nothing we can do about it.</para></warning>
<para>If you installed &last_release_version;, without using our wonderful extension system, you can change it to be extension based by first upgrading to the latest micro version running the upgrade scripts: <filename>postgis_upgrade_22_minor.sql</filename>,<filename>raster_upgrade_22_minor.sql</filename>,<filename>topology_upgrade_22_minor.sql</filename>.</para>
<para>If you installed postgis without raster support, you'll need to install raster support first (using the full <filename>rtpostgis.sql</filename></para>
<para>Then you can run the below commands to package the functions in their respective extension.</para>

<title>Testing</title>
<para>
If you wish to test the PostGIS build, run
</para>
<para>
<command>make check</command>
</para>
<para>
The above command will run through various checks and regression tests
using the generated library against an actual PostgreSQL database.
</para>
<note>
<para>
If you configured PostGIS using non-standard PostgreSQL, GEOS, or
Proj4 locations, you may need to add their library locations to the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
</para>
</note>
<caution>
<para>
Currently, the <command>make check</command> relies on the
<code>PATH</code> and <code>PGPORT</code> environment variables when
performing the checks - it does <emphasis>not</emphasis> use the
PostgreSQL version that may have been specified using the
configuration parameter <command>--with-pgconfig</command>. So make
sure to modify your PATH to match the detected PostgreSQL installation
during configuration or be prepared to deal with the impending
headaches.
</para>
</caution>
<para>
If successful, the output of the test should be similar to the
following:

<para>The <code>address_standardizer</code> extension used to be a separate package that required separate download. From PostGIS 2.2 on, it is now bundled in.
For more information about the address_standardize, what it does, and how to configure it for your needs, refer to <xref linkend="Address_Standardizer" />.</para>
<para>This standardizer can be used in conjunction with the PostGIS packaged tiger geocoder extension as a replacement for the <xref linkend="Normalize_Address" /> discussed.
To use as replacement refer to <xref linkend="tiger_pagc_address_standardizing" />.
You can also use it as a building block for your own geocoder or use it to standardize your addresses for easier compare of addresses.</para>
<para>The address standardizer relies on PCRE which is usually already installed on many Nix systems,
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. If you have a custom pcre install you want to use instead, pass to configure <code>--with-pcredir=/path/to/pcre</code> where <filename>/path/to/pcre</filename> is the root folder for your pcre include and lib directories.</para>
<para>For Windows users, the PostGIS 2.1+ bundle is packaged with the address_standardizer already so no need to compile and can move straight to <code>CREATE EXTENSION</code> step.</para>
<para>Once you have installed, you can connect to your database and run the SQL:</para>
<programlisting>CREATE EXTENSION address_standardizer;</programlisting>
<para>The following test requires no rules, gaz, or lex tables</para>
<programlisting>SELECT num, street, city, state, zip

<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

<title>Create a spatially-enabled database from a template</title>
<para>
Some packaged distributions of PostGIS (in particular the Win32 installers
for PostGIS >= 1.1.5) load the PostGIS functions into a template
database called <varname>template_postgis</varname>. If the
<varname>template_postgis</varname> database exists in your PostgreSQL
installation then it is possible for users and/or applications to create
spatially-enabled databases using a single command. Note that in both
cases, the database user must have been granted the privilege to create
new databases.

From the shell:
</para>

<title>Upgrading</title>
<para>
Upgrading existing spatial databases can be tricky as it requires
replacement or introduction of new PostGIS object definitions.
</para>
<para>
Unfortunately not all definitions can be easily replaced in a live
database, so sometimes your best bet is a dump/reload process.
</para>
<para>
PostGIS provides a SOFT UPGRADE procedure for minor or bugfix releases,
and a HARD UPGRADE procedure for major releases.
</para>

Before attempting to upgrade PostGIS, it is always worth to backup your
data. If you use the -Fc flag to pg_dump you will always be able to
restore the dump with a HARD UPGRADE.

After compiling and installing (make install) you should find a <filename>postgis_upgrade.sql</filename> and <filename>rtpostgis_upgrade.sql</filename> in the installation folders. For example <filename>/usr/share/postgresql/9.3/contrib/postgis_upgrade.sql</filename>. Install the <filename>postgis_upgrade.sql</filename>. If you have raster functionality installed, you will also need to install the <filename>/usr/share/postgresql/9.3/contrib/postgis_upgrade.sql</filename>. If you are moving from PostGIS 1.* to PostGIS 2.* or from PostGIS 2.* prior to r7409, you need to do a HARD UPGRADE.

<title>Hard upgrade</title>
<para>
By HARD UPGRADE we mean full dump/reload of postgis-enabled databases.
You need a HARD UPGRADE when PostGIS objects' internal storage changes
or when SOFT UPGRADE is not possible. The
<link linkend="release_notes">Release Notes</link>
appendix reports for each version whether you need a dump/reload (HARD
UPGRADE) to upgrade.
</para>
<para>
The dump/reload process is assisted by the postgis_restore.pl
script which takes care of skipping from the dump all
definitions which belong to PostGIS (including old ones),
allowing you to restore your schemas and data into a
database with PostGIS installed without getting duplicate
symbol errors or bringing forward deprecated objects.

Create a "custom-format" dump of the database you want
to upgrade (let's call it <varname>olddb</varname>)
include binary blobs (-b) and verbose (-v) output.
The user can be the owner of the db, need not be postgres
super account.

instructions on how to do this.
</para>
<para>
The spatial_ref_sys entries found in your dump will be
restored, but they will not override existing ones in
spatial_ref_sys. This is to ensure that fixes in the
official set will be properly propagated to restored
databases. If for any reason you really want your own
overrides of standard entries just don't load the
spatial_ref_sys.sql file when creating the new db.
</para>
<para>
If your database is really old or you know you've
been using long deprecated functions in your
views and functions, you might need to load
<filename>legacy.sql</filename> for all your functions
and views etc. to properly come back.
Only do this if _really_ needed. Consider upgrading your
views and functions before dumping instead, if possible.
The deprecated functions can be later removed by loading
<filename>uninstall_legacy.sql</filename>.

Some of your views or functions make use of deprecated PostGIS objects.
In order to fix this you may try loading <filename>legacy.sql</filename>
script prior to restore or you'll have to restore to a
version of PostGIS which still contains those objects
and try a migration again after porting your code.
If the <filename>legacy.sql</filename> way works for you, don't forget
to fix your code to stop using deprecated functions and drop them
loading <filename>uninstall_legacy.sql</filename>.

Some custom records of spatial_ref_sys in dump file have
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 > 0 AND srid < 999000 );</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.
