= How to install PostGIS 2.0 on Ubuntu 13.04 (''raring'') from packages =

== Install ==

Add PPA using:
{{{
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable
}}}
Now open 'Software & Updates' and go to the tab 'Other Software' and change the distribution for http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu from 'raring' to 'quantal'. Otherwise you will get the following error message:
{{{
ERROR:  could not open extension control file "/usr/local/PostgreSQL/9.2/share/postgresql/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
}}}
Install packages using the following commands:
{{{
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install postgis postgresql-9.1-postgis
}}}


== Spatially enabling a database ==

Connect to your database using pgAdmin or psql, and run the following commands. To add postgis with raster support:
{{{
CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
}}}

To add topology support, a second extension can be created on the database:
{{{
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;
}}}
