+# Installing Mapnik on Ubuntu
+
+For all versions of Ubuntu it is a good idea to be fully up to date before starting:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get upgrade
+```
+
+For older versions see the archived notes at [[UbuntuInstallationOld]]
+
+----
+
+# Ubuntu >= (11.10)
+
+## Install from packages
+
+**For nightly builds from master (2.x)**
+
+This is the bleeding edge - build nightly - directly from https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/commits/master
+
+```sh
+    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mapnik/nightly-trunk
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get install libmapnik mapnik-utils python-mapnik
+```
+
+If add-apt-repository is not installed, install it with:
+
+```sh
+    sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
+```
+
+These packages come from: https://launchpad.net/~mapnik/+archive/nightly-trunk/+packages
+
+**For v2.0.x version**
+
+This is the stable 2.0.x series, updated whenever there is a commit pushed to the 2.0.x branch (which is only bugfix backports) - the next release in this series is 2.0.1.
+
+```sh
+    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mapnik/nightly-2.0
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get install libmapnik mapnik-utils python-mapnik
+```
+
+These packages come from: https://launchpad.net/~mapnik/+archive/nightly-2.0/+packages
+
+**For v0.7.2 version**
+
+```sh
+    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mapnik/nightly-0.7
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get install libmapnik mapnik-utils python-mapnik
+```
+
+## Install Mapnik from source
+
+First, remove any other old mapnik packages:
+
+```sh
+    sudo apt-get purge libmapnik* mapnik-utils python-mapnik
+```
+
+### Ensure your boost version is recent enough
+
+Mapnik master may require a boost version more recent than provided by your Ubuntu distribution.
+
+You can use the latest Boost version (that works with Mapnik) by installing Boost from the `mapnik/boost` PPA:
+
+```sh
+sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mapnik/boost
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-python-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev 
+```
+Note: You can see the boost version offered by your distro with the below command. And if you are using the above PPA then its version should show up as a candidate for installation:
+
+```sh
+apt-cache policy libboost-dev
+```
+
+### Set up build environment
+
+```sh
+    # get a build environment going...
+    sudo apt-get install -y g++ cpp \
+    libicu-dev \
+    libboost-filesystem-dev \
+    libboost-program-options-dev \
+    libboost-python-dev libboost-regex-dev \
+    libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev \
+    python-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev \
+    libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev \
+    libjpeg-dev \
+    libltdl7 libltdl-dev \
+    libpng-dev \
+    libproj-dev \
+    libgeotiff-dev libtiff-dev libtiffxx0c2 \
+    libcairo2 libcairo2-dev python-cairo python-cairo-dev \
+    libcairomm-1.0-1 libcairomm-1.0-dev \
+    ttf-unifont ttf-dejavu ttf-dejavu-core ttf-dejavu-extra \
+    git build-essential python-nose clang \
+    libgdal1-dev python-gdal \
+    postgresql-9.1 postgresql-server-dev-9.1 postgresql-contrib-9.1 postgresql-9.1-postgis \
+    libsqlite3-dev
+```
+
+### Then compile and install Mapnik
+
+```sh
+    git clone http://github.com/mapnik/mapnik
+    cd mapnik
+    ./configure CXX=clang++ && make && sudo make install
+```
+
+To test mapnik:
+
+```sh
+    make test
+```
