independently of Django. In other words, no database or settings file
|

required -- import them as normal from :mod:`django.contrib.gis`.

On Debian/Ubuntu, you are advised to install the following packages which will
|
|
install, directly or by dependency, the required geospatial libraries:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install binutils libproj-dev gdal-bin
|
|
|
|
Please also consult platform-specific instructions if you are on :ref:`macos`
|
|
or :ref:`windows`.

Building from source
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
When installing from source on UNIX and GNU/Linux systems, please follow
|
|
the installation instructions carefully, and install the libraries in the
|
|
given order. If using MySQL or Oracle as the spatial database, only GEOS
|
|
is required.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
On Linux platforms, it may be necessary to run the ``ldconfig`` command
|
|
after installing each library. For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
$ sudo ldconfig
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
macOS users must install `Xcode`_ in order to compile software from source.

GEOS
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
GEOS is a C++ library for performing geometric operations, and is the default
|
|
internal geometry representation used by GeoDjango (it's behind the "lazy"
|
|
geometries). Specifically, the C API library is called (e.g., ``libgeos_c.so``)
|
|
directly from Python using ctypes.
|
|
|
|
First, download GEOS from the GEOS website and untar the source archive:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ wget https://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2
|
|
$ tar xjf geos-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
Then step into the GEOS directory, create a ``build`` folder, and step into
|
|
it:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ cd geos-X.Y.Z
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
|
|
Then build and install the package:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
|
|
$ cmake --build .
|
|
$ sudo cmake --build . --target install

Troubleshooting

Can't find GEOS library
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
When GeoDjango can't find GEOS, this error is raised:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: text
|
|
|
|
ImportError: Could not find the GEOS library (tried "geos_c"). Try setting GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings.
|
|
|
|
The most common solution is to properly configure your :ref:`libsettings` *or* set
|
|
:ref:`geoslibrarypath` in your settings.
|
|
|
|
If using a binary package of GEOS (e.g., on Ubuntu), you may need to :ref:`binutils`.
|
|
|
|
.. _geoslibrarypath:
|
|
|
|
``GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH``
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
If your GEOS library is in a non-standard location, or you don't want to
|
|
modify the system's library path then the :setting:`GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH`
|
|
setting may be added to your Django settings file with the full path to the
|
|
GEOS C library. For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH = '/home/bob/local/lib/libgeos_c.so'
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The setting must be the *full* path to the **C** shared library; in
|
|
other words you want to use ``libgeos_c.so``, not ``libgeos.so``.
|
|
|
|
See also :ref:`My logs are filled with GEOS-related errors <geos-exceptions-in-logfile>`.
|
|
|
|
.. _proj4:
|
|
|
|
PROJ
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
`PROJ`_ is a library for converting geospatial data to different coordinate
|
|
reference systems.
|
|
|
|
First, download the PROJ source code:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ wget https://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
... and datum shifting files (download ``proj-datumgrid-X.Y.tar.gz`` for
|
|
PROJ < 7.x) [#]_:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ wget https://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-data-X.Y.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Next, untar the source code archive, and extract the datum shifting files in the
|
|
``data`` subdirectory (use ``nad`` subdirectory for PROJ < 6.x). This must be
|
|
done *prior* to configuration:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ tar xzf proj-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
|
|
$ cd proj-X.Y.Z/data
|
|
$ tar xzf ../../proj-data-X.Y.tar.gz
|
|
$ cd ../..
|
|
|
|
For PROJ 9.x and greater, releases only support builds using ``CMake`` (see
|
|
`PROJ RFC-7`_).
|
|
|
|
To build with ``CMake`` ensure your system meets the `build requirements`_.
|
|
Then create a ``build`` folder in the PROJ directory, and step into it:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ cd proj-X.Y.Z
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
|
|
Finally, configure, make and install PROJ:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ cmake ..
|
|
$ cmake --build .
|
|
$ sudo cmake --build . --target install
|
|
|
|
.. _PROJ RFC-7: https://proj.org/community/rfc/rfc-7.html#rfc7
|
|
.. _build requirements: https://proj.org/install.html#build-requirements
|
|
|
|
.. _gdalbuild:
|
|
|
|
GDAL
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
`GDAL`__ is an excellent open source geospatial library that has support for
|
|
reading most vector and raster spatial data formats. Currently, GeoDjango only
|
|
supports :doc:`GDAL's vector data <../gdal>` capabilities [#]_.
|
|
:ref:`geosbuild` and :ref:`proj4` should be installed prior to building GDAL.
|
|
|
|
First download the latest GDAL release version and untar the archive:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ wget https://download.osgeo.org/gdal/X.Y.Z/gdal-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
|
|
$ tar xzf gdal-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
For GDAL 3.6.x and greater, releases only support builds using ``CMake``. To
|
|
build with ``CMake`` create a ``build`` folder in the GDAL directory, and step
|
|
into it:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ cd gdal-X.Y.Z
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
|
|
Finally, configure, make and install GDAL:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ cmake ..
|
|
$ cmake --build .
|
|
$ sudo cmake --build . --target install
|
|
|
|
If you have any problems, please see the troubleshooting section below for
|
|
suggestions and solutions.

Can't find GDAL library
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
When GeoDjango can't find the GDAL library, configure your :ref:`libsettings`
|
|
*or* set :ref:`gdallibrarypath` in your settings.
|
|
|
|
.. _gdallibrarypath:
|

``GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH``
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
If your GDAL library is in a non-standard location, or you don't want to
|
|
modify the system's library path then the :setting:`GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH`
|
|
setting may be added to your Django settings file with the full path to
|
|
the GDAL library. For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH = '/home/sue/local/lib/libgdal.so'
|
|

.. [#] The datum shifting files are needed for converting data to and from
|
|
certain projections.
|
|
For example, the PROJ string for the `Google projection (900913 or 3857)
|
|
<https://spatialreference.org/ref/sr-org/6864/prj/>`_ requires the
|
|
``null`` grid file only included in the extra datum shifting files.
|
|
It is easier to install the shifting files now, then to have debug a
|
|
problem caused by their absence later.
|
|
.. [#] Specifically, GeoDjango provides support for the `OGR
|
|
<https://gdal.org/user/vector_data_model.html>`_ library, a component of
|

GDAL.
