Installing PostGIS on RHEL 8 or OL 8 x86_64

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

  • Install EDB Postgres Advanced Server on the same host. See

    Installing EDB Postgres Advanced Server .

  • Set up the repository

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

To set up the repository, go to EDB repositories and follow the instructions provided there.

  • Address other prerequisites

# Install the EPEL repository:
sudo dnf -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm

# Enable additional repositories to resolve dependencies:
ARCH=$( /bin/arch ) subscription-manager repos --enable "codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-${ARCH}-rpms"

#  Disable the built-in PostgreSQL module:
sudo dnf -qy module disable postgresql

Install the package

#  To install PostGIS 3.2:

sudo dnf -y install edb-as<xx>-postgis32

#  To install PostGIS 3.1 using EDB Postgres Advanced Server 13-14:

sudo dnf -y install edb-as<xx>-postgis3

#  To install PostGIS 3.1 using EDB Postgres Advanced Server 11-12:

sudo dnf -y install edb-as<xx>-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-as14-postgis32 .
