Install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)
1. check your Ubuntu version:-
lsb_release -a
Install Postgresql
2. On the server or your PC (Terminal):-
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y postgresql postgresql-contrib
Create a database and a user for access
Replace DATABASE_NAME_HERE and USER_NAME_HERE with the values you want to use.
# this will prompt you for a database password...also note the capital letter 'O' not number '0' (zero) below:-
3. sudo -u postgres createuser -P USER_NAME_HERE
sudo -u postgres createdb -O USER_NAME_HERE DATABASE_NAME_HERE
Test Connection to Postgresql
4. psql -h localhost -U USER_NAME_HERE DATABASE_NAME_HERE
Postgresql will ask you for your password. Then you should see the following:
DATABASE_NAME_HERE=>
To exit type:-
\q
To add PostGIS-2.4 support to the database
5. sudo apt-get install -y postgis postgresql-10-postgis-2.4
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis; CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;" DATABASE_NAME_HERE
6. Finally... install PgAdmin3 and set your 'service' connections
sudo apt-get install pgadmin3
