Installation

PostGIS database template

In order to create databases from the OpenERP client, you have to create a PostGis database template. Under windows, this template is already available in installer.

On other *NIX, system you simply have to launch the create_postgis_template.sh script available in the base_geoengine module in the scripts folder. This should be done by a PostgreSQL superuser.

In order to test the success:

psql -l
template_postgis | owner | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |

If you want to install GeoEngine on an exisiting database, please refer to the Postgisify section.

OpenERP

Add the template as an argument to OpenERP server:

--db-template=template_postgis

or in config file:

db_template = template_postgis

Do not forget to add the GeoEngine modules to your addons path.

Then install (eventually update module list) the base GeoEngine module form the OpenERP client.
