Installing PostGIS on SLES 12 ppc64le v3.2

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

  • Install EDB Postgres Advanced Server on the same host. See Installing EDB Postgres Advanced Server.

  • Set up the repository

    Setting up the repository is a one-time task. If you have already set up your repository, you do not need to perform this step.

    To set up the repository, go to EDB repositories and follow the instructions provided there.

  • Address other prerequisites

    # Activate the required SUSE module
    sudo SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/12.5/ppc64le
    sudo SUSEConnect -p sle-sdk/12.5/ppc64le
    
    # Refresh the metadata
    sudo zypper refresh

Install the package

# To install PostGIS 3.2:
zypper -n install edb-as<xx>-postgis32

# To install PostGIS 3.1 using EDB Postgres Advanced Server 13-14:
zypper -n install edb-as<xx>-postgis3

# To install PostGIS 3.1 using EDB Postgres Advanced Server 12:
