 Several components are needed, which can either be built from source or installed from pre-built packages, as shown below. For a quick start, there are official Docker images for Postgres here [https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/]
+For some features to be enabled (like parallel query support for spatial joins), Postgres 10 is required, but most features work with 9.6

+With a Docker v10 image, postgres is already installed, but the server-dev package is required:

 Without the Docker image, start by first installing the Postgres package:

 There are multiple ways to build GEOS from source, but this is the simplest (Note: currently version 3.7 is only available in the nightly build. When 3.7 is released, switch to that):
