GeoDjango Installation
======================
.. highlight:: console
Overview
========
In general, GeoDjango installation requires:
#. :ref:`Python and Django <django>`
#. :ref:`spatial_database`
#. :doc:`geolibs`
Details for each of the requirements and installation instructions
are provided in the sections below. In addition, platform-specific
instructions are available for:
2017-04-23 20:06:12 +00:00
* :ref:`macos`
* :ref:`windows`
.. admonition:: Use the Source
Because GeoDjango takes advantage of the latest in the open source geospatial
software technology, recent versions of the libraries are necessary.
If binary packages aren't available for your platform, installation from
source may be required. When compiling the libraries from source, please
follow the directions closely, especially if you're a beginner.
Requirements
============
.. _django:
Python and Django
-----------------
Because GeoDjango is included with Django, please refer to Django's
:ref:`installation instructions <installing-official-release>` for details on
how to install.
.. _spatial_database:
Spatial database
----------------
PostgreSQL (with PostGIS), MySQL (mostly with MyISAM engine), Oracle, and SQLite
(with SpatiaLite) are the spatial databases currently supported.
.. note::
PostGIS is recommended, because it is the most mature and feature-rich
open source spatial database.
The geospatial libraries required for a GeoDjango installation depends
on the spatial database used. The following lists the library requirements,
supported versions, and any notes for each of the supported database backends:
================== ============================== ================== =========================================
Database Library Requirements Supported Versions Notes
================== ============================== ================== =========================================
PostgreSQL GEOS, GDAL, PROJ, PostGIS 9.6+ Requires PostGIS.
MySQL GEOS, GDAL 5.7+ :ref:`Limited functionality <mysql-spatial-limitations>`.
Oracle GEOS, GDAL 12.2+ XE not supported.
2020-05-10 20:30:03 +00:00
SQLite GEOS, GDAL, PROJ, SpatiaLite 3.8.3+ Requires SpatiaLite 4.3+
================== ============================== ================== =========================================
See also `this comparison matrix`__ on the OSGeo Wiki for
PostgreSQL/PostGIS/GEOS/GDAL possible combinations.

Add ``django.contrib.gis`` to :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS`
-------------------------------------------------------
Like other Django contrib applications, you will *only* need to add
:mod:`django.contrib.gis` to :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` in your settings.
2016-02-29 10:47:14 +00:00
This is so that the ``gis`` templates can be located -- if not done, then
features such as the geographic admin or KML sitemaps will not function properly.
Troubleshooting
===============
If you can't find the solution to your problem here then participate in the
community! You can:
* Join the ``#geodjango`` IRC channel on Freenode. Please be patient and polite
-- while you may not get an immediate response, someone will attempt to answer
your question as soon as they see it.
* Ask your question on the `GeoDjango`__ mailing list.
* File a ticket on the `Django trac`__ if you think there's a bug. Make
sure to provide a complete description of the problem, versions used,
and specify the component as "GIS".

.. _libsettings:
Library environment settings
----------------------------
By far, the most common problem when installing GeoDjango is that the
external shared libraries (e.g., for GEOS and GDAL) cannot be located. [#]_
Typically, the cause of this problem is that the operating system isn't aware
of the directory where the libraries built from source were installed.
In general, the library path may be set on a per-user basis by setting
an environment variable, or by configuring the library path for the entire
system.
``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` environment variable
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A user may set this environment variable to customize the library paths
they want to use. The typical library directory for software
built from source is ``/usr/local/lib``. Thus, ``/usr/local/lib`` needs
to be included in the ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` variable. For example, the user
could place the following in their bash profile::
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
Setting system library path
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On GNU/Linux systems, there is typically a file in ``/etc/ld.so.conf``, which may include
additional paths from files in another directory, such as ``/etc/ld.so.conf.d``.
As the root user, add the custom library path (like ``/usr/local/lib``) on a
new line in ``ld.so.conf``. This is *one* example of how to do so::
$ sudo echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf
$ sudo ldconfig
For OpenSolaris users, the system library path may be modified using the
``crle`` utility. Run ``crle`` with no options to see the current configuration
and use ``crle -l`` to set with the new library path. Be *very* careful when
modifying the system library path::
# crle -l $OLD_PATH:/usr/local/lib
.. _binutils:
Install ``binutils``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GeoDjango uses the ``find_library`` function (from the ``ctypes.util`` Python
module) to discover libraries. The ``find_library`` routine uses a program
called ``objdump`` (part of the ``binutils`` package) to verify a shared
library on GNU/Linux systems. Thus, if ``binutils`` is not installed on your
Linux system then Python's ctypes may not be able to find your library even if
your library path is set correctly and geospatial libraries were built perfectly.
The ``binutils`` package may be installed on Debian and Ubuntu systems using the
following command::
$ sudo apt-get install binutils
Similarly, on Red Hat and CentOS systems::
$ sudo yum install binutils
Platform-specific instructions
==============================
2017-04-23 20:06:12 +00:00
.. _macos:
2017-04-23 20:06:12 +00:00
macOS
-----
2017-04-23 20:06:12 +00:00
Because of the variety of packaging systems available for macOS, users have
several different options for installing GeoDjango. These options are:
* :ref:`postgresapp` (easiest and recommended)
* :ref:`homebrew`
* :ref:`kyngchaos`
* :ref:`fink`
* :ref:`macports`
* :ref:`build_from_source`
This section also includes instructions for installing an upgraded version
2017-04-23 20:06:12 +00:00
of :ref:`macos_python` from packages provided by the Python Software
Foundation, however, this is not required.
2017-04-23 20:06:12 +00:00
.. _macos_python:
Python
~~~~~~
2017-04-23 20:06:12 +00:00
Although macOS comes with Python installed, users can use `framework
2015-08-08 11:56:37 +00:00
installers`__ provided by the Python Software Foundation. An advantage to
2017-04-23 20:06:12 +00:00
using the installer is that macOS's Python will remain "pristine" for internal
2015-08-08 11:56:37 +00:00
operating system use.
__ https://www.python.org/ftp/python/
.. note::
You will need to modify the ``PATH`` environment variable in your
``.profile`` file so that the new version of Python is used when
``python`` is entered at the command-line::
export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:$PATH
.. _postgresapp:
Postgres.app
~~~~~~~~~~~~
`Postgres.app <https://postgresapp.com/>`_ is a standalone PostgreSQL server
that includes the PostGIS extension. You will also need to install ``gdal`` and
``libgeoip`` with :ref:`homebrew`.
After installing Postgres.app, add the following to your ``.bash_profile`` so
you can run the package's programs from the command-line. Replace ``X.Y`` with
the version of PostgreSQL in the Postgres.app you installed:
.. code-block:: bash
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/X.Y/bin
You can check if the path is set up correctly by typing ``which psql`` at a
terminal prompt.
.. _homebrew:
Homebrew
~~~~~~~~
`Homebrew`__ provides "recipes" for building binaries and packages from source.
It provides recipes for the GeoDjango prerequisites on Macintosh computers
2017-04-23 20:06:12 +00:00
running macOS. Because Homebrew still builds the software from source, `Xcode`_
is required.
Summary::
$ brew install postgresql
$ brew install postgis
$ brew install gdal
$ brew install libgeoip
__ https://brew.sh/
2017-04-23 20:06:12 +00:00
.. _Xcode: https://developer.apple.com/xcode/
.. _kyngchaos:
KyngChaos packages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
William Kyngesburye provides a number of `geospatial library binary packages`__
that help to get GeoDjango installed on macOS without compiling them from
source. However, `Xcode`_ is still necessary for compiling the Python database
adapters :ref:`psycopg2_kyngchaos` (for PostGIS).
.. note::
2017-04-23 20:06:12 +00:00
SpatiaLite users should consult the :ref:`spatialite_macos` section
after installing the packages for additional instructions.
Download the framework packages for:
* UnixImageIO
* PROJ
* GEOS
* SQLite3 (includes the SpatiaLite library)
* GDAL
Install the packages in the order they are listed above, as the GDAL and SQLite
packages require the packages listed before them.
Afterwards, you can also install the KyngChaos binary packages for `PostgreSQL
and PostGIS`__.
After installing the binary packages, you'll want to add the following to
your ``.profile`` to be able to run the package programs from the command-line::
export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/UnixImageIO.framework/Programs:$PATH
export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/Programs:$PATH
export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GEOS.framework/Programs:$PATH
export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/SQLite3.framework/Programs:$PATH
export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs:$PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH

__ https://www.kyngchaos.com/software/postgres
.. _psycopg2_kyngchaos:
psycopg2
^^^^^^^^
After you've installed the KyngChaos binaries and modified your ``PATH``, as
described above, ``psycopg2`` may be installed using the following command::
$ python -m pip install psycopg2
.. note::
2013-01-29 15:45:40 +00:00
If you don't have ``pip``, follow the :ref:`installation instructions
<installing-official-release>` to install it.
.. _fink:
Fink
^^^^
`Kurt Schwehr`__ has been gracious enough to create GeoDjango packages for users
of the `Fink`__ package system. `Different packages are available`__ (starting
with ``django-gis``), depending on which version of Python you want to use.

.. _macports:
MacPorts
~~~~~~~~
2017-04-23 20:06:12 +00:00
`MacPorts`__ may be used to install GeoDjango prerequisites on computers
running macOS. Because MacPorts still builds the software from source,
`Xcode`_ is required.
Summary::
$ sudo port install postgresql93-server
$ sudo port install geos
$ sudo port install proj
$ sudo port install postgis
$ sudo port install gdal +geos
$ sudo port install libgeoip
.. note::
You will also have to modify the ``PATH`` in your ``.profile`` so
that the MacPorts programs are accessible from the command-line::
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/lib/postgresql93/bin
In addition, add the ``DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH`` setting so that
the libraries can be found by Python::
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib:/opt/local/lib/postgresql93
__ https://www.macports.org/
.. _windows:
Windows
-------
Proceed through the following sections sequentially in order to install
GeoDjango on Windows. In this tutorial we will install 64 bit versions of each
application.
Python
~~~~~~
Install a 64 bit version of Python. See :doc:`Install Python </howto/windows>`
for further information.
PostgreSQL
~~~~~~~~~~
Download the latest `PostgreSQL 12.x installer`__ from the
`EnterpriseDB`__ website. After downloading, run the installer, follow the
on-screen directions, and keep the default options unless you know the
consequences of changing them.
.. note::
The PostgreSQL installer creates a new ``postgres`` database superuser
You will be prompted once to set the password -- make sure to remember it!
When the installer completes, it will ask to "Launch Stack Builder at exit?" --
keep this checked, as it is necessary to install :ref:`postgisasb`.
.. note::
If installed successfully, the PostgreSQL server will run in the background
each time the system as started as a Windows service. A
:menuselection:`PostgreSQL 12` start menu group will created and contains
shortcuts for the Application Stack Builder (ASB) as well as the
'SQL Shell', which will launch a ``psql`` command window.
__ https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads
__ https://www.enterprisedb.com
.. _postgisasb:
PostGIS
~~~~~~~
From within the Stack Builder (to run outside of the installer,
:menuselection:`Start --> PostgreSQL 12 --> Application Stack Builder`), select
:menuselection:`PostgreSQL 12 (x64) on port 5432` from the drop down
menu and click next. Expand the
:menuselection:`Categories --> Spatial Extensions` menu tree and select
:menuselection:`PostGIS X.Y for PostgreSQL 12`.
After clicking next, you will be prompted to confirm the selected package and
"Download directory". Click next again, this will download PostGIS and you will
be asked to click next to begin the PostGIS installer. Select the default
options during install. The install process includes three Yes/No dialog boxes,
the default option for all three is "No".
.. _osgeo4w:
OSGeo4W
~~~~~~~
2020-05-10 20:30:03 +00:00
The `OSGeo4W installer`_ helps to install the PROJ, GDAL, and GEOS libraries
required by GeoDjango. First, download the `OSGeo4W installer`_ (64bit), and
run it. Select :menuselection:`Express Web-GIS Install` and click next. In the
'Select Packages' list, ensure that GDAL is selected; MapServer is also enabled
by default, but is not required by GeoDjango and may be unchecked safely. After
clicking next and accepting the license agreements, the packages will be
automatically downloaded and installed, after which you may exit the installer.
.. _OSGeo4W installer: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/
Modify Windows environment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to use GeoDjango, you will need to add your OSGeo4W
directories to your Windows system ``Path``, as well as create ``GDAL_DATA``
and ``PROJ_LIB`` environment variables. The following set of commands,
executable with ``cmd.exe``, will set this up. Restart your device
once this is complete for new environment variables to be recognized:
.. code-block:: bat
set OSGEO4W_ROOT=C:\OSGeo4W64
set GDAL_DATA=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\share\gdal
set PROJ_LIB=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\share\proj
set PATH=%PATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin
reg ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v Path /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /f /d "%PATH%"
reg ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v GDAL_DATA /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /f /d "%GDAL_DATA%"
reg ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v PROJ_LIB /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /f /d "%PROJ_LIB%"
.. note::
This assumes 64bit version of OSGeo4W is installed. If you have installed
the 32bit version you will need to change the first command to
``set OSGEO4W_ROOT=C:\OSGeo4W``.
.. note::
Administrator privileges are required to execute these commands.
To do this, run command prompt as administrator and enter the commands
above. You need to log out and log back in again for the settings to take
effect.
.. note::
If you customized the OSGeo4W installation directories, then you will need
to modify the ``OSGEO4W_ROOT`` variables accordingly.
Install Django and set up database
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:ref:`install Django <installing-official-release>` on your system. It is
recommended that you create a :doc:`virtural environment
<python:tutorial/venv>` for each project you create.
psycopg2
~~~~~~~~
The ``psycopg2`` Python module provides the interface between Python and the
PostgreSQL database. ``psycopg2`` can be installed via pip within your Python
virtual environment::
pip install psycopg2
.. rubric:: Footnotes
.. [#] GeoDjango uses the :func:`~ctypes.util.find_library` routine from
``ctypes.util`` to locate shared libraries.
