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.

  • 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"
    Note

    If you are using a public cloud RHEL image, subscription manager may not be enabled and enabling it may incur unnecessary charges. Equivalent packages may be available under a different name such as codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-rhui-rpms. Consult the documentation for the RHEL image you are using to determine how to install codeready-builder.

Install the package

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

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