## Mac PostGIS / Postgres Setup
|
||||
|
||||
After you have installed PostgreSQL and PostGIS you will need to perform further setup before you can begin to use them with mapnik.
|
||||
|
||||
* Setup for *Binaries/Frameworks* from [kyngchaos.com](http://www.kyngchaos.com/wiki/software:frameworks).
|
||||
* Add the bin and man page directories to your path (assumes bash shell which is default on 10.5). You may create or append the ~/.profile with the following:
|
||||
|
||||
#!sh
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
export PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH
|
||||
export MANPATH=/usr/local/pgsql/man:$MANPATH
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Register your changes
|
||||
|
||||
#!sh
|
||||
$ source ~/.profile
|
||||
You should now be able to type the following from any directory and see the man page.
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ source ~/.profile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should now be able to type the following from any directory and see the man page.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ man psql
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#!sh
|
||||
$ man psql
|
||||
* Create a database. The installer you used from [kyngchaos.com](http://www.kyngchaos.com/wiki/software:frameworks) automatically created a Mac OS user on your system named postgres. Use that user to create a new database user/role and setup the database. (change "gisuser" to your liking)
|
||||
|
||||
#!sh
|
||||
$ sudo -u postgres -i
|
||||
$ createuser gisuser
|
||||
$ createdb -E UTF8 -O gisuser mapnik
|
||||
$ createlang plpgsql mapnik
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ sudo -u postgres -i
|
||||
$ createuser gisuser
|
||||
$ createdb -E UTF8 -O gisuser mapnik
|
||||
$ createlang plpgsql mapnik
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Alternatively you can run all commands from your normal shell user but use the '-U' flag to call them as the postgres user:
|
||||
|
||||
#!sh
|
||||
$ createdb -E UTF8 -U postgres <dbname>
|
||||
$ createlang plpgsql -U postgres <dbname>
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ createdb -E UTF8 -U postgres <dbname>
|
||||
$ createlang plpgsql -U postgres <dbname>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* PostGIS support must be enabled for each database that requires its usage. This is done by feeding the lwpostgis.sql (the enabler script) file to the target database.
|
||||
|
||||
#!sh
|
||||
$ psql -d mapnik -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/lwpostgis.sql
|
||||
$ psql -d mapnik -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/spatial_ref_sys.sql
|
||||
$ echo "ALTER TABLE geometry_columns OWNER TO gisuser; ALTER TABLE spatial_ref_sys OWNER TO gisuser;" | psql -d mapnik
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
$ psql -d mapnik -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/lwpostgis.sql
|
||||
$ psql -d mapnik -f /usr/local/pgsql/share/spatial_ref_sys.sql
|
||||
$ echo "ALTER TABLE geometry_columns OWNER TO gisuser; ALTER TABLE spatial_ref_sys OWNER TO gisuser;" | psql -d mapnik
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
At this point your database should be setup to create a PostGIS table.
