LINZ and GIS

LINZ uses PostgreSQL, so create a machine with this on.

http://postgis.net/ PostGIS will help a lot here

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa

sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.6

While in terminal, log in to the psql console as postgres user:

sudo -u postgres psql

CREATE EXTENSION adminpack;

CREATE DATABASE gisdb;
\connect gisdb;

CREATE SCHEMA postgis;
ALTER DATABASE gisdb SET search_path=public, postgis, contrib;
\connect gisdb;  -- this is to force new search path to take effect
CREATE EXTENSION postgis SCHEMA postgis;
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_sfcgal SCHEMA postgis;

Exit the psql console:
