I am attempting to install the latest PostGIS 3.0.x on CentOS 8, with no luck.
I don't think anyone is running PostGIS on RHEL 8 or CentOS 8, I can't understand why not. It does not seem possible to install.
I have successfully installed Postgres 12.0 by disabling the RHEL AppStream
Steps I took installing postgres 12 on CentOS 8:
1)
#dnf install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
2)
#dnf --disablerepo AppStream install postgresql12
#dnf --disablerepo AppStream install postgresql12-server
I am attempting now to install PostGIS.
#dnf list --available | grep postgis30
I see that postgis30_96 is the latest offered (as listed below):
postgis30_96.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-client.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-client-debuginfo.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-debuginfo.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-devel.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-docs.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-gui.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-gui-debuginfo.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
postgis30_96-utils.x86_64 3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8 pgdg96
When I try to install with the following command:
#dnf install postgis30_96
I get these errors:
Last metadata expiration check: 1:22:58 ago on Tue 15 Oct 2019 08:25:10 PM UTC.
Error:
Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job
- nothing provides hdf5 needed by postgis30_96-3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8.x86_64
- nothing provides xerces-c needed by postgis30_96-3.0.0alpha4-6.rhel8.x86_64
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
I look for xerces-c, and nothing is returned:
#dnf list --available | grep xerces-c
Where do I get xerces-c to install?
I look to see if hdf5 is available to install (dependency)
#dnf list --available | grep hdf5
and nothing is returned. How do I satisfy these dependencies, so that PostGIS will install?
I goto the hdf5 website, download the source and it's a BIG FAT MESS. The build/install instructions do not work - the code is out of sync with the install instructions.
I check the hdf5 website and find another set of build/install instructions, and they too are out of sync with the latest code base. I don't know which way is up with this project, if it's a zombie project out there on the web, seemingly alive, but nobody's home.
How do I get hdf5 easily onto my system and xerces-c so that nothing existing gets mucked up? I would prefer to install these through any somewhat sanctioned CentOS 8 package repo using dnf.
I can't log this issue on the PostGIS ticket tracking system. Logging a ticket there requires an OSGEO ID, and when I request a 'mantra' to get started, nothing is returned, no response,
OSGEO is yet another zombie project, nobody's home. https://www.osgeo.org/community/getting-started-osgeo/osgeo_userid/
Please respond only if you have actually done this yourself on a CentOS 8 machine or VM, while I appreciate suggestions, pointers or imaginations from others, it pollutes r/postgis reddit with misinformation, non-working solutions, and not only wastes my time with dead ends, but also the time of others.
Someone else inevitably comes along with the same problems and is misguided with these those that are well-intentioned, but provide incorrect or incomplete information.
I had the same problem and finally found the solution. I need postgis25 for postgresql10, so I typed this command
dnf --enablerepo=PowerTools install postgis25_10
The PowerTools repo has the packages from codeready-developer repo, from Redhat CodeReady Studio. It contains a lot of useful tools.
Cannot enable PowerTools for RHEL 8
https://access.redhat.com/discussions/5417621
Remarks: PowerTools is a CentOS repository. On RHEL 8 we have the CodeReady Builder repository!
I am now able to install PostGIS-3 for PostgreSQL-12 on RHEL-8.
Solution:
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
dnf install postgis30_12
Summing up the previous answers, these are the commands needed to install PostGIS-3 on CentOS-8:
dnf -y install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
dnf -qy module disable postgresql
yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
dnf --enablerepo=PowerTools install postgresql12-server postgresql12-contrib postgis30_12
Many of the answers were helpful. To sum up the steps I had to take and errors in the instructions at https://people.planetpostgresql.org/devrim/index.php?/archives/107-Installing-PostGIS-3.1-and-PostgreSQL-13-on-CentOS-8.html
As mentioned by Marcelo, for RHEL use code-ready, not powertools.
As mentioned in this thread, don't mix packages. Run dnf -y install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
to get the pgdg repo before installing postgres. Then run dnf -qy module disable postgresql if needed then install postgres like sudo dnf install -y postgresql13-server
The command to install epel-repo listed here may not work. Try sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
Get the name of the latest postgis release with this command. sudo dnf list --available | grep postgis3 As mentioned by Nick, the second two digits are your postgres version.
Install postgis sudo dnf -y install postgis3x_xx I repeat, the second two digits are your postgres version.
So, in summary, to install postgres and postgis on my rhel8 sytstem, I ran these commands in this order.
sudo dnf -qy module disable postgresql
sudo dnf -y install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install -y postgresql13-server
sudo /usr/pgsql-13/bin/postgresql-13-setup initdb
sudo systemctl enable postgresql-13
sudo systemctl start postgresql-13
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
sudo dnf -y install postgis31_13
The postgis30_96 packages are for Postgres 9.6. You need postgis30_12 for Postgres 12.
These packages are definitely in the repo, so if your dnf list isn't seeing them, it may be an instance of a known issue in which "yum/dnf refuse to find/install many packages from PGDG repository on RHEL8".
As a workaround, the Postgres Yum Howto recommends this installation procedure:
dnf -y install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
dnf -qy module disable postgresql
dnf install postgresql11-server postgresql11-contrib
Percona Postgresql 13 And Postgis 3.0
https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-repo-config/index.html
dnf remove postgresql
sudo dnf install https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm
sudo percona-release setup ppg-13
You can refer here:
https://www.percona.com/doc/postgresql/LATEST/installing.html#using-the-rpm-format
sudo dnf module disable postgresql
sudo dnf install percona-postgresql13-server
sudo dnf install percona-pg_repack13
sudo dnf install percona-pgaudit
sudo dnf install percona-pgbackrest
sudo dnf install percona-patroni
sudo dnf install percona-pg-stat-monitor13
sudo dnf install percona-postgresql13-contrib
/usr/pgsql-13/bin/postgresql-13-setup initdb
sudo systemctl start postgresql-13
PostGIS
dnf -y config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
dnf install -y postgis30_13 postgis30_13-client
What helped me in CentOS container (as a root):
yum -y install dnf-plugins-core && yum config-manager --set-enabled powertools
Installing dnf-plugins-core and enabling powertools.
There are some Perl modules that could previously be installed with:
yum install "perl(DateTime)"
Under CentOS7. In CentOS8 I get the error:
No match for argument: perl(DateTime)
I have the same problem for perl(Template), perl(YAML::XS), perl(Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt) and perl(JSON::XS)
I tried searching with:
yum provides *DateTime*
But I can't find anything there either.
perl-DateTime is no longer part of the CentOS 8 base OS. You'll need to enable the PowerTools repository, i.e. as root
# yum config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
# yum update
# yum repolist
repo id repo name status
...
PowerTools CentOS-8 - PowerTools ...
...
# yum install "perl(DateTime)"
or...
# yum install perl-DateTime
perl(YAML::XS) (AKA perl-YAML-LibYAML) should also be available.
perl(Template) (AKA perl-Template-Toolkit) and perl(Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt) (AKA perl-Crypt-Eksblowfish) no longer seem to be provided, not even in EPEL8. So you'll have to install them from CPAN.
I am using DNF package manager for installing rpms on centos 7.x.The rpms are checked out from the svn private repo. DNF is not able to install the rpm if I throw a command
dnf -y install docker-common-{{docker_version}}*.rpm
Whereas if I use rpm command to install the packages,its doing fine
rpm -i docker-common-{{docker_version}}*.rpm,its able to install
Is there any feature in dnf for installing the rpm without specifying whole line of rpm like below:
dnf -y install docker-client-1.12.6-61.git85d7426.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm
You can simply say the rpms are in your current directory with a ./* like:
dnf install ./docker-common-*
I have downloaded a package with it's dependency and want to install a package with dependency. Even though i have download in local folder it's checking for online.
sudo yum -y --disablerepo=* localinstall autoconf-2.69-11.el7.noarch.rpm
I am trying above command but failed to load it's dependency that is there in same folder.
Thanks,
Hare
Inside the local directory where you have all the downloaded RPMs, do this:
sudo yum --disablerepo=* localinstall *.rpm
OR
sudo yum --disablerepo=* localinstall foo.rpm bar.rpm baz.rpm
Since you have downloaded all the dependencies to a single directory, you can also use rpm to install those:
sudo rpm -Uvvh *.rpm --test
--test does a dry-run. Remove it to install on disk.
Even if the solution provide by iamauser is very great (and I am using it all the time), I wish to give you an other way to do it.
It exists yum-downloader command which doing basically the same thing for you.
# yumdownloader <package> --resolve
You just have to download it first :
# yum install yum-utils
Overall, I suggest you to read this article from Red Hat company site's which details everything about those two methods :
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/10154
On centos 7.3 minimal trying to install shapely or geopandas requires access to https://github.com/libgeos/libgeos libgeos.
Trying to install this via sudo yum install libgeos-dev tells me that this package is not available. It seems that I am lacking a repository. So far I have been unable to find a working one as http://trac.osgeo.org/geos is pointing to https://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php#pg96 for the RPM but still after rpm -Uvh https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.6/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos96-9.6-3.noarch.rpm the installation candidate is not found.
It seems that for CentOS this package is called geos-devel and can be found through RPM Fusion.
yum install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-7.noarch.rpm
yum install geos-devel
