[[TOC]]

 * [wiki:InstallationGuidelines/PostgreSQL PostgreSQL] is a database with powerful geospatial support
 * [wiki:InstallationGuidelinesApacheModWSGI]

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 [wiki:InstallationGuidelines/Linux/Server/ApacheMySQL Apache/MySQL] option or modifying these scripts to use the Stable versions of Eden.
