<para>
Many OS systems now include pre-built packages for PostgreSQL/PostGIS.
In many cases compilation is only necessary if you want the most
bleeding edge versions or you are a package maintainer.
</para>
<para>This section includes general compilation instructions, if you are compiling for Windows etc
or another OS, you may find additional more detailed help at <ulink url="http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiInstall">PostGIS User contributed compile guides</ulink> and <ulink url="http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/DevWikiMain">PostGIS Dev Wiki</ulink>.</para>

The PostGIS module is an extension to the PostgreSQL backend server. As

For GEOS functionality, when you install PostgresSQL you may need to
explicitly link PostgreSQL against the standard C++ library:

This is a workaround for bogus C++ exceptions interaction with older
development tools. If you experience weird problems (backend
unexpectedly closed or similar things) try this trick. This will require
recompiling your PostgreSQL from scratch, of course.

To enable ST_AsMVT protobuf-c library 1.1.0 or higher (for usage) and the protoc-c compiler (for building) are required.
Also, pkg-config is required to verify the correct minimum version of protobuf-c.
See <ulink url="https://github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c">protobuf-c</ulink>.
By default, Postgis will use Wagyu to validate MVT polygons faster which requires a c++11 compiler. It will use CXXFLAGS and the same compiler as the PostgreSQL installation. To disable this and use GEOS instead use the <varname>--without-wagyu</varname> during the configure step.

Common ones useful to override are <varname>PGUSER</varname>,<varname>PGPORT</varname>, and <varname>PGHOST</varname>. Refer to <ulink url="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-envars.html">psql environment variables</ulink> </para></note>
<para>The extension files will always be the same for the same version of PostGIS and PostgreSQL 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_raster | &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_raster;
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;
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_tiger_geocoder;
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;</programlisting>
<para>In psql you can use to see what versions you have installed and also what schema they are installed. </para>

<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
running the below commands to package the functions in their respective extension.
</para>
<programlisting>
CREATE EXTENSION postgis FROM unpackaged;
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_raster FROM unpackaged;
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology FROM unpackaged;
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_tiger_geocoder FROM unpackaged;

<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
<varname>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</varname> 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:

<sect1 id="installing_pagc_address_standardizer"><title>Installing and Using the address standardizer</title>
<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
FROM parse_address('1 Devonshire Place PH301, Boston, MA 02109');</programlisting>
<para>Output should be</para>

However if you need to edit the <filename>usps-st-city-orig.txt</filename> or <filename>usps-st-city-orig.txt usps-st-city-adds.tx</filename>, you need to rebuild <filename>parseaddress-stcities.h</filename> which does require Regex:Assemble.</para>

<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
project that has a much better address standardizer engine. To use this new address_standardizer, you compile the extension as described in <xref linkend="installing_pagc_address_standardizer" /> and install as an extension in your database.</para>
<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>). These you can add and update to improve your standardizing experience for your own needs.</para>

<title>Loading Tiger Data</title>
<para>The instructions for loading data are available in a more detailed form in the <filename>extras/tiger_geocoder/tiger_2011/README</filename>. This just includes the general steps.</para>
<para>The load process downloads data from the census website for the respective nation files, states requested, extracts the files, and then loads each state into its own separate
set of state tables. Each state table inherits from the tables defined in <varname>tiger</varname> schema so that its sufficient to just query those tables to access all the data and drop a set of state tables at any time using the <xref linkend="Drop_State_Tables_Generate_Script" /> if you need to reload a state or just don't need a state anymore.</para>
<para>In order to be able to load data you'll need the following tools:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>A tool to unzip the zip files from census website.</para>
<para>For Unix like systems: <varname>unzip</varname> executable which is usually already installed on most Unix like platforms.</para>
<para>For Windows, 7-zip which is a free compress/uncompress tool you can download from <ulink url="http://www.7-zip.org/">http://www.7-zip.org/</ulink> </para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para><filename>shp2pgsql</filename> commandline which is installed by default when you install PostGIS.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><filename>wget</filename> which is a web grabber tool usually installed on most Unix/Linux systems.</para>
<para>If you are on windows, you can get pre-compiled binaries from <ulink url="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm">http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm</ulink> </para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>If you are upgrading from tiger_2010, you'll need to first generate and run <xref linkend="Drop_Nation_Tables_Generate_Script" />. Before you load any state data, you need to load the nation wide data which you do with <xref linkend="Loader_Generate_Nation_Script" />. Which will
generate a loader script for you. <xref linkend="Loader_Generate_Nation_Script" /> is a one-time step that should be done for upgrading (from 2010) and for new installs.</para>
<para>To load state data refer to <xref linkend="Loader_Generate_Script" /> to generate a data load script for your platform for the states you desire.
Note that you can install these piecemeal. You don't have to load all the states you want all at once. You can load them as you need them.</para>
<para>After the states you desire have been loaded, make sure to run the:
<programlisting>SELECT install_missing_indexes();</programlisting> as described in <xref linkend="Install_Missing_Indexes" />.</para>
<para>To test that things are working as they should, try to run a geocode on an address in your state using <xref linkend="Geocode" /> </para>

<sect2 id="upgrade_tiger_geocoder">
<title>Upgrading your Tiger Geocoder Install</title>
<para>
If you have Tiger Geocoder packaged with 2.0+ already installed, you can upgrade the functions at any time even from an interim tar ball if there are fixes you badly need. This will only work for Tiger geocoder not installed with extensions.
</para>
<para>
If you don't have an extras folder, download <ulink url="&postgis_download_url;">&postgis_download_url;</ulink>
</para>
<para>
<command>tar xvfz postgis-&last_release_version;.tar.gz</command>
</para>
<para>
<command>cd postgis-&last_release_version;/extras/tiger_geocoder/tiger_2011</command>
</para>
<para>Locate the <filename>upgrade_geocoder.bat</filename> script If you are on windows
or the <filename>upgrade_geocoder.sh</filename> if you are on Linux/Unix/Mac OSX. Edit the file to have your postgis database credentials.</para>
<para>If you are upgrading from 2010 or 2011, make sure to unremark out the loader script line so you get the latest script for loading 2012 data.</para>
<para>
Then run th corresponding script from the commandline.
</para>
<para>Next drop all nation tables and load up the new ones. Generate a drop script with this SQL statement as detailed in <xref linkend="Drop_Nation_Tables_Generate_Script" /></para>
<programlisting>SELECT drop_nation_tables_generate_script();</programlisting>
<para>Run the generated drop SQL statements.</para>
<para>Generate a nation load script with this SELECT statement as detailed in <xref linkend="Loader_Generate_Nation_Script" /></para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">For windows</emphasis></para>
<programlisting>SELECT loader_generate_nation_script('windows'); </programlisting>
<para><emphasis role="bold">For unix/linux</emphasis></para>
<programlisting>SELECT loader_generate_nation_script('sh');</programlisting>
<para>Refer to <xref linkend="tiger_geocoder_loading_data" /> for instructions on how to run the generate script. This only needs to be done once.</para>
<note><para>You can have a mix of 2010/2011 state tables and can upgrade each state separately. Before you upgrade a state to 2011, you first need to drop the 2010 tables for that state using <xref linkend="Drop_State_Tables_Generate_Script" />.</para></note>

<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.
