    • sudo apt-get update
    • sudo apt-get install geonode (before I could run this I had do to do sudo apt-get install libtomcat7-java so that Tomcat6 will be removed and then I could install tomcat7 - which was needed to for GeoServer - used by GeoNode)
  2. Set the IP address and create a superuser (also described here: http://docs.geonode.org/en/latest/deploy/production.html)

Notes on installing PostGIS

install from source: see: http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostGIS20Ubuntu1204src

  • To check if postgres exists, use which psql which should return the path. Then with the path I did /usr/bin/psql --version

to retrieve the version installed.

  • So, Postgres 9.1 was installed, but when I executed "psql" I got this: </code>psql: FATAL: role "ssteinig" does not exist</code>
  • Hence, I first had to creating my account as a user using sudo -u postgres createuser -s $USER (got this from here).
  • Now I could create a db using createdb mygeodb, and connect via commandline with psql -d mygeodb
  • Finally I spatially enabled the db with CREATE EXTENSION postgis; and CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;
  • then add a Postgres/postgis port forwarding rule for port 5432
