Installation of GIS Tools on Linux

Suggest these CLI tools for data manipulation:

PostGIS

PostGIS adds Spatial storage to PostgreSQL

NB PostGIS in Debian Lenny is rather old - recommend using the version in Squeeze

apt-get install postgresql-8.4-postgis
su postgres
createuser -s -P gis

createdb -O gis gis
createlang plpgsql -d gis
psql -d gis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis.sql
psql -d gis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-1.5/spatial_ref_sys.sql

Add Spherical Mercator projection (900913. See http://www.cadmaps.com/gisblog/?p=81 for 54004):

  • Not needed with PostGIS-1.5 :)
    psql gis
    INSERT into spatial_ref_sys (srid, auth_name, auth_srid, srtext, proj4text) values (900913 ,'EPSG',900913,'GEOGCS["WGS 84", DATUM["World Geodetic System 1984", SPHEROID["WGS 84", 6378137.0, 298.257223563,AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]], AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]],PRIMEM["Greenwich", 0.0, AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]], NIT["degree",0.017453292519943295], AXIS["Longitude", EAST], AXIS["Latitude", NORTH],AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]], PROJECTION["Mercator_1SP"],PARAMETER["semi_minor", 6378137.0], PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0.0], PARAMETER["central_meridian", 0.0], PARAMETER["scale_factor",1.0], PARAMETER["false_easting", 0.0], PARAMETER["false_northing", 0.0],UNIT["m", 1.0], AXIS["x", EAST], AXIS["y", NORTH],AUTHORITY["EPSG","900913"]] |','+proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgrids=@null +no_defs');
    

Java

vim /etc/apt/sources.list
# for sun-java packages in unstable
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable non-free

apt-get update
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
vim /etc/profile
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
export JAVA_HOME

or:

  • Download the JDK & install it:
    cd /usr/local
    sh ~/jdk-6u21-linux-i586.bin
    ln -sf /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_21 /usr/local/java
    vim /etc/profile
    JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java
    export JAVA_HOME
    

Install the JAI extensions (improves performance for GeoServer WMS): 32-bit:

cd /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
wget http://download.java.net/media/jai/builds/release/1_1_3/jai-1_1_3-lib-linux-i586-jdk.bin
wget http://download.java.net/media/jai-imageio/builds/release/1.1/jai_imageio-1_1-lib-linux-i586-jdk.bin
sh jai-1_1_3-lib-linux-i586-jdk.bin
# accept license
export _POSIX2_VERSION=199209
sh jai_imageio-1_1-lib-linux-i586-jdk.bin
# accept license
rm jai-1_1_3-lib-linux-i586-jdk.bin
rm jai_imageio-1_1-lib-linux-i586-jdk.bin

64-bit:

cd /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
wget http://download.java.net/media/jai/builds/release/1_1_3/jai-1_1_3-lib-linux-amd64-jdk.bin
wget http://download.java.net/media/jai-imageio/builds/release/1.1/jai_imageio-1_1-lib-linux-amd64-jdk.bin

Apache Tomcat

Tomcat is the recommended way to deploy Java applications

  • Debian:
    apt-get install sun-java6-jdk tomcat5.5 libapache2-mod-jk
    a2enmod jk
    vim /etc/libapache2-mod-jk/workers.properties
    workers.java_home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
    
    # Needed for GeoServer-2.1-beta1 (2.0.2 was fine, but maybe it's because of running both at once?)
    vim /etc/default/tomcat5.5
    JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx256M -XX:MaxPermSize=128m"
    
    vim /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5
    TOMCAT5_SECURITY=no
    
    /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 restart
    

Enable access to GeoServer on Port 80:

a2enmod proxy
a2enmod proxy_ajp
a2enmod proxy_http
vim /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy.conf
    Deny from all
    Allow from localhost

vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/geo
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName geo.eden.sahanafoundation.org
  ServerAdmin webmaster@sahanafoundation.org
  DocumentRoot /var/www

  ProxyPreserveHost on
  RewriteEngine On
  # These 2 lines should be disabled in Production
  RewriteRule ^/geoserver/(.*)$ ajp://localhost:8009/geoserver/$1 [P]
  ProxyPassReverse /geoserver ajp://localhost:8009/geoserver/
  RewriteRule ^/geoserver/wfs ajp://localhost:8009/geoserver/wfs [P]

GeoServer

(recommended)

apt-get install unzip
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/geoserver/GeoServer/2.0.2/geoserver-2.0.2-war.zip

cd /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps
unzip ~/geoserver-2.0.2-war.zip

/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 restart

vim /etc/iptables.rules
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8180 -j ACCEPT

reboot

http://geo.host.domain:8180/geoserver

or

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/geoserver/GeoServer/2.0.2/geoserver-2.0.2-bin.zip
cd /usr/local
unzip ~/geoserver-2.0.2-bin.zip
ln -sf /usr/local/geoserver-2.0.2 /usr/local/geoserver

vim /etc/profile
GEOSERVER_HOME=/usr/local/geoserver
export GEOSERVER_HOME

vim /etc/rc.local
/usr/local/geoserver/bin/startup.sh &

vim /etc/iptables.rules
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT

reboot

http://geo.host.domain:8080/geoserver

Configure:

MapServer

OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data can be stored in a PostGIS database & rendered using Mapnik.

To support Key/Value pairs:

su postgres
psql -d gis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/hstore.sql

To support Planet diff files:

su postgres
psql gis < /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/_int.sql

Osm2pgsql

It is recommended to use the latest version from source rather than an out of date package:

apt-get install build-essential libxml2-dev libgeos-dev libpq-dev libbz2-dev proj autoconf subversion libtool
svn export http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/export/osm2pgsql/
cd osm2pgsql
./autogen.sh
./configure
sed -i 's/-g -O2/-O2 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer/' Makefile
make
make install

Mapnik

0.7.1 is packaged for Squeeze:

apt-get install python-mapnik unzip

Download the OpenStreetMap extensions for Mapnik:

cd
svn export http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik

Download/decompress Coastlines:

cd
wget http://tile.openstreetmap.org/world_boundaries-spherical.tgz
wget http://tile.openstreetmap.org/processed_p.tar.bz2
wget http://tile.openstreetmap.org/shoreline_300.tar.bz2
wget http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/10m/cultural/10m-populated-places.zip
wget http://www.naturalearthdata.com/http//www.naturalearthdata.com/download/110m/cultural/110m-admin-0-boundary-lines.zip
cd ~/mapnik
tar zxvf ~/world_boundaries-spherical.tgz
tar jxvf ~/processed_p.tar.bz2 -C world_boundaries
tar jxvf ~/shoreline_300.tar.bz2 -C world_boundaries
unzip ~/10m-populated-places.zip -d world_boundaries
unzip ~/110m-admin-0-boundary-lines.zip -d world_boundaries

Disable autovacuum:

vim /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf
#autovacuum = on
/etc/init.d/postgresql restart

Download/Import area of interest, e.g.:

wget http://downloads.cloudmade.com/north_america/haiti/haiti.osm.bz2
su postgres
osm2pgsql -s -d gis haiti.osm.bz2

Re-enable autovacuum:

vim /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf
autovacuum = on
/etc/init.d/postgresql restart

Setup XML file:

cd ~/mapnik
./generate_xml.py --host localhost --user gis --dbname gis --symbols ./symbols/ --world_boundaries ./world_boundaries/ --port 5432 --password mypasswordforgis

Render tiles:

cd ~/mapnik
MAPNIK_MAP_FILE="osm.xml" MAPNIK_TILE_DIR="tiles/" ./generate_tiles.py

Contours

Printing

For Printing TMS layers, need to compile the Trunk version of the MapFish Print Module & then serve the resultant .war with Tomcat:

  1. Ensure that JAVA_HOME points to a JDK.
  2. Download & build source:
    svn checkout http://www.mapfish.org/svn/mapfish/print/trunk/
    cd trunk
    ./gradlew build
    
  3. Configure Tomcat
    vim /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/04webapps.policy
    permission java.io.FilePermission "/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/print-servlet-1.2-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties", "read";
    
    /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 restart
    
    vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/print
    
    
    ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/print /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/print
    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
    
  4. Copy the WAR file to your %WEBAPPS% directory:
    cp trunk/build/libs/print-servlet-1.2-SNAPSHOT.war /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps
    
  5. (re)Start Tomcat
  6. Configure the Map URL for Eden to:
  7. Configure %WEBAPPS%\print-servlet-1.2-SNAPSHOT\config.yaml: http://www.mapfish.org/doc/print/configuration.html

Printing can also be done within GeoServer:

However this version doesn't yet support TMS layers, like OpenStreetMap.

wget http://geoserver.org/download/attachments/20938936/printing-2.0.x.zip
wget http://geoserver.org/download/attachments/20938936/printing-data-2.0.x.zip
cd /usr/local/geoserver-2.0.2/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib
unzip ~/printing-2.0.x.zip
cd /usr/local/geoserver-2.0.2/data_dir
unzip ~/printing-data-2.0.x.zip
/usr/local/geoserver/bin/shutdown.sh
/usr/local/geoserver/bin/startup.sh &
  • Configure by editing /usr/local/geoserver-2.0.2/data_dir/printing/config.yaml according to Documentation
