[GIS] Installing PostGIS on PostgreSQL 12

installationpostgispostgresql

I installed PostgreSQL 12 using Windows Installer. After the installation, there´s no option to install postgis extension. I tried to add postgis support in a database using CREATING EXTENSION and I got an error message about postgis.control missing file.

How can I proceed to use PostGIS features in PostgreSQL 12?

I installed it yesterday, you could use the application Stack Builder. Here you have some screenshots.

[GIS] PostGIS extension not available in Postgresql list

The postgresql apt-repository has postgis now, and I put together some instructions for pulling from this to install postgresql 9.3 and postgis 2.1 (if that version of postgis will work for you).

View the instructions here, and let me know if they work for you!

I would steer clear of enterpriseDB especially for Ubuntu / Linux. They have told me on support forums that they are not really supporting postgis on Linux properly.

PostGIS – Troubleshooting Installation on PostgreSQL 9.1

By default, you don't have PostGIS 2.0 but 1.5 (see http://packages.ubuntu.com/fr/precise/postgresql-9.1-postgis)

By doing CREATE EXTENSION postgis; you're trying to initialize from PostgreSQL with the new loading mechanism a PostGIS version (1.5) that do not support it and in this case, you will need to follow the PostGIS 1.5 official doc

If you need 2.0, follow various instructions already available in previous gis.stack.exchange.com answers e.g Install PostGIS on Ubuntu 12.04 or Can POSTGIS 2.0 be install with POSTGRES 9.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 OS at the moment?

Edit due to changes in question:

When I look in the repository (http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ precise-pgdg main), I see you can get different PostGIS versions for different PostgreSQL versions, so sudo apt-get install postgis is not enough clear for the package manager

Did you try?

sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.1-postgis-2.0
