GeoDjango Installation
|
|
======================
|

|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
========
|
|
In general, GeoDjango installation requires:
|
|
|
|
1. :ref:`Python and Django <django>`
|
|
2. :ref:`spatial_database`
|
|
3. :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:
|
|
|
|
* :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:
|
|
|

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.
|
|
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
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
.. _macos:
|
|
|
|
macOS
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
of :ref:`macos_python` from packages provided by the Python Software
|
|
Foundation, however, this is not required.
|
|
|
|
.. _macos_python:
|
|
|
|
Python
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Although macOS comes with Python installed, users can use `framework
|
|
installers`__ provided by the Python Software Foundation. An advantage to
|
|
using the installer is that macOS's Python will remain "pristine" for internal
|
|
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:$PATH
|
|
|
|
.. _postgresapp:
|
|
|
|
Postgres.app
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
`Postgres.app <http://postgresapp.com/>`_ is a standalone PostgreSQL server
|
|
that includes the PostGIS extension. You will also need to install ``gdal`` and
|
|
``libgeoip`` with :ref:`homebrew`.
|
|
|
|
After installing Postgres.app, add the following to your ``.bash_profile`` so
|
|
you can run the package's programs from the command-line. Replace ``X.Y`` with
|
|
the version of PostgreSQL in the Postgres.app you installed:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
export PATH=$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
|
|
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/
|
|
.. _Xcode: https://developer.apple.com/xcode/
|
|
|
|
.. _kyngchaos:
|
|
|
|
KyngChaos packages
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
William Kyngesburye provides a number of `geospatial library binary packages`__
|
|
that make it simple 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::
|
|
|
|
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
|

|
|
|
|
.. _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::
|
|
|
|
$ pip install psycopg2
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
`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.
|
|
|
|
Python
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
:doc:`Install Python </howto/windows>`.
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
First, download the latest `PostgreSQL 9.x installer`__ from the
|
|
`EnterpriseDB`__ website. After downloading, simply 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 both a new Windows user to be the
|
|
'postgres service account' and a ``postgres`` database superuser
|
|
You will be prompted once to set the password for both accounts --
|
|
make sure to remember it!
|
|
|
|
When the installer completes, it will ask to launch the Application Stack
|
|
Builder (ASB) on 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 9.x` start menu group will created
|
|
and contains shortcuts for the ASB as well as the 'SQL Shell',
|
|
which will launch a ``psql`` command window.

|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
From within the Application Stack Builder (to run outside of the installer,
|
|
:menuselection:`Start --> Programs --> PostgreSQL 9.x`), select
|
|
:menuselection:`PostgreSQL Database Server 9.x on port 5432` from the drop down
|
|
menu. Next, expand the :menuselection:`Categories --> Spatial Extensions` menu
|
|
tree and select :menuselection:`PostGIS X.Y for PostgreSQL 9.x`.
|
|
|
|
After clicking next, you will be prompted to select your mirror, PostGIS
|
|
will be downloaded, and the PostGIS installer will begin. Select only the
|
|
default options during install (e.g., do not uncheck the option to create a
|
|
default PostGIS database).
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
You will be prompted to enter your ``postgres`` database superuser
|
|
password in the 'Database Connection Information' dialog.
|
|
|
|
psycopg2
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The ``psycopg2`` Python module provides the interface between Python and the
|
|
PostgreSQL database. Download the latest `Windows installer`__ for your version
|
|
of Python and PostgreSQL and run using the default settings. [#]_
|
|
|
|
__ http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/
|
|
|
|
.. _osgeo4w:
|
|
|
|
OSGeo4W
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The `OSGeo4W installer`_ makes it simple to install the PROJ.4, GDAL, and GEOS
|
|
libraries required by GeoDjango. First, download the `OSGeo4W installer`_,
|
|
and run it. Select :menuselection:`Express Web-GIS Install` and click next.
|
|
In the 'Select Packages' list, ensure that GDAL is selected; MapServer and
|
|
Apache are also enabled by default, but are not required by GeoDjango and
|
|
may be unchecked safely. After clicking next, 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 Python and 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:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bat
|
|
|
|
set OSGEO4W_ROOT=C:\OSGeo4W
|
|
set PYTHON_ROOT=C:\Python3X
|
|
set GDAL_DATA=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\share\gdal
|
|
set PROJ_LIB=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\share\proj
|
|
set PATH=%PATH%;%PYTHON_ROOT%;%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::
|
|
|
|
Administrator privileges are required to execute these commands.
|
|
To do this, create a ``bat`` script with the commands, right-click it, and
|
|
select :menuselection:`Run as administrator`. You need to log out and log
|
|
back in again for the settings to take effect.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
If you customized the Python or OSGeo4W installation directories,
|
|
then you will need to modify the ``OSGEO4W_ROOT`` and/or ``PYTHON_ROOT``
|
|
variables accordingly.
|
|
|
|
Install Django and set up database
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Finally, :ref:`install Django <installing-official-release>` on your system.
