Installing on Red Hat / Centos / Scientific Linux

The best place to get the latest binaries for both PostgreSQL and PostGIS is from the PostgreSQL download page Redhat Derivatives.

• Select the PostgreSQL version
• Select a “Platform” and an “Architecture”.
• Copy and run the setup script as root.

Further, run the following to add in PostGIS and dependencies.

# Install EPEL repo RPM:
dnf -y install epel-release

# Enable PowerTools repo (required for some of the dependencies):
dnf -y config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools

# you might need to do this instead for the Rockys
dnf config-manager --enable crb

# for Rocky 8 and above might need to do this as well
crb enable

# Now, you can finally install PostGIS
# Select the right PostGIS and PostgreSQL versions
dnf -y install postgis34_16

systemctl restart postgresql-16
