+= How to install PostGIS 2.0 on Debian 6.0 (''squeeze'') from source =
+
+== Prerequisites ==
+
+Several components are needed, which can either be built from source or installed from pre-built packages, as shown below. It is assumed you have already installed and configured `sudo` (not done by default).
+
+Install prerequisite packages using:
+{{{
+sudo apt-get install build-essential postgresql-8.4 postgresql-server-dev-8.4 libxml2-dev proj libjson0-dev
+}}}
+
+Optional package for raster support:
+{{{
+sudo apt-get install libgdal-dev
+}}}
+Optional packages for testing PostGIS:
+{{{
+sudo apt-get install libcunit1-dev
+}}}
+Optional packages for building documentation:
+{{{
+sudo apt-get install xsltproc docbook-xsl docbook-mathml imagemagick
+}}}
+(for building PDF documentation, add `dblatex`, but expect a large download)
+
+
+=== Build GEOS 3.3.2 ===
+PostGIS 2.0 requires GEOS >= 3.3.2 for topology support.
+
+There are multiple ways to build GEOS, but this is the simplest:
+{{{
+wget http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.3.2.tar.bz2
+tar xvfj geos-3.3.2.tar.bz2
+cd geos-3.3.2
+./configure
+make
+sudo make install
+}}}
+
+== Build PostGIS ==
+{{{
+wget http://postgis.refractions.net/download/postgis-2.0.0beta2SVN.tar.gz
+tar xfvz postgis-2.0.0beta2SVN.tar.gz
+cd postgis-2.0.0beta2SVN
+}}}
+PostGIS 2.0 can be configured to disable topology or raster extensions, using the configure flags `--without-raster` and `--without-topology`. The default is to build both extensions:
+{{{
+./configure
+make
+sudo make install
+sudo make comments-install
+}}}
+
+== Template ==
+Complete a post-install by creating a template, which can be re-used for creating multiple spatially-enabled databases. Or if you just want to make one spatially enabled database, you can modify the commands for your needs.
+
+Log-in as `postgres` from `root` using "`su - postgres`", and use the following commands:
+{{{
+createdb template_postgis
+createlang plpgsql template_postgis
+psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/postgis.sql
+psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/spatial_ref_sys.sql
+psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/postgis_comments.sql
+}}}
+
+=== Enable raster extension ===
+Adding on to `template_postgis`:
+{{{
+psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/rtpostgis.sql
+psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/raster_comments.sql
+}}}
+
+=== Enable topology extension ===
+Adding on to `template_postgis`:
+{{{
+psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/topology.sql
+psql -d template_postgis -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/postgis-2.0/topology_comments.sql
+}}}
