[GIS] Django client install postgresql/postgis on Ubuntu 12.04

geodjangopostgispostgresqlUbuntu

Does anyone know what apt packages one should install for a postgres(8.4)/postgis(1.5) django (1.4) client on ubuntu 12.04?

All recipes seem to assume that I want to install the full postgres/postgis database server on the machine, but I have a external database server so I only want the packages that can connect to that.

For a full server I use:

apt-get install binutils gdal-bin libproj-dev postgresql-8.4-postgis postgresql-server-dev-8.4 python-psycopg2 python-setuptools

I've not tried it but try changing your apt-get to

apt-get install binutils gdal-bin libproj-dev postgresql-9.1-postgis postgresql-server-dev-9.1 python-psycopg2 python-setuptools

should do the trick. As its just the client its backwards compatible with older versions of postgresql.

postgresql-8.4-postgis is only available on lucid (10.04) the future releases (11.04) onwards use postgresql-9.1-postgis

EDIT:

apt-get install binutils gdal-bin libproj-dev postgis python-psycopg2 python-setuptools does the trick
