Installing PostGIS on AlmaLinux 9 or Rocky Linux 9 x86_64 v3

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

• Install Postgres on the same host. See:

  • Installing EDB Postgres Advanced Server

  • Installing PostgreSQL

• Set up the EDB repository.

  Setting up the repository is a one-time task. If you have already set up your repository, you don't need to perform this step.

  To determine if your repository exists, enter:

  dnf repolist | grep enterprisedb

  If no output is generated, the repository isn't installed.

  To set up the EDB repository:

  1. Go to EDB repositories.

  2. Select the button that provides access to the EDB repository.

  3. Select the platform and software that you want to download.

  4. Follow the instructions for setting up the EDB repository.

• Install the EPEL repository:

  → WrapCopy

  sudo dnf -y install epel-release

• Enable additional repositories to resolve dependencies:

  → WrapCopy

  sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb

Install the package

# To install PostGIS 3.4:
sudo dnf -y install edb-as<xx>-postgis34

# To install PostGIS 3.1 using EDB Postgres Advanced Server 13-15:
sudo dnf -y install edb-as<xx>-postgis3

# To install PostGIS 3.1 using EDB Postgres Advanced Server 11:
sudo dnf -y install edb-as11-postgis

Where <xx> is the version of EDB Postgres Advanced Server. Replace <xx> with the version of EDB Postgres Advanced Server you are using. For example, edb-as15-postgis34.
