:ref:`gdalbuild` should be installed prior to building PostGIS. You
|
|
|
might also need additional libraries, see `PostGIS requirements`_.

|
On Debian/Ubuntu, you are advised to install the following packages:
|
|
|
postgresql-x.x, postgresql-x.x-postgis, postgresql-server-dev-x.x,
|
|
|
python-psycopg2 (x.x matching the PostgreSQL version you want to install).
|
|

-Please also consult platform-specific instructions if you are on :ref:`macosx`
|
|
|
-or :ref:`windows`.

|
|
- $ cd ..
|
