PostgreSQL is a database with powerful geospatial support

The simplest way to install is using our attached installation scripts.

Please adopt the parameters of the scripts to your needs. You can use the scripts unaltered if you have a virgin debian8 installation. They should work out of the box. The clean script which will be installed in /user/local/bin will include the database connection! Please alter them afterwards if you change the connection parameters (database/port)!

These assume that you are installing on Debian Stable (8 'Jessie').

Ubuntu will be similar, although you may need to tweak the setup (e.g. different PostgreSQL versions)

This is split into 2 halves, as the 1st script can create a base image which is then customised per-instance using the configure script.

Give execute permission to your script:

chmod +x /path/to/install-eden-apache-postgis-debian8.sh
/path/to/install-eden-apache-postgis-debian8.sh

Since . refers to the current directory: if yourscript.sh is in the current directory, you can simplify this to:

./install-eden-apache-postgis-debian8.sh

Note: We install using the latest Trunk versions of Eden. This can occasionally cause teething problems, so if you want a safer route then you may be better off with the Apache/MySQL option or modifying these scripts to use the Stable versions of Eden.
