    Requirements - RiverGIS 1.0 Documentation

    Uploaded by

    H Chandra Wahyu Sulistyo
    RiverGIS requires QGIS 2.8 or later and a connection to a PostgreSQL database with PostGIS spatial extensions. PostGIS needs to be installed to enable spatial functionality in PostgreSQL. To set up the database, download and install PostgreSQL and PostGIS, create a new database called "rivergis", enable the PostGIS and PostGIS Topology extensions, and configure a connection in QGIS.

    Requirements
    QGIS LTR (2.8) is the minimum required QGIS version for RiverGIS 1.0. RiverGIS can be installed
    from the plugin manager:

    Plugins > Manage and Install Plugins... .

    In the All tab search for rivergis, select it and click Install plugin button.

    RiverGIS needs a connection to PostgreSQL database with spatial extensions of PostGIS .

    PostGIS Installation
    PostGIS is a spatial database extender for PostgreSQL database. PostgreSQL is released under the
    PostgreSQL License, a liberal Open Source license, similar to the BSD or MIT licenses. PostGIS is
    released under the GNU General Public License (GPLv2).

    The Database

    Download an installer that suits your needs from http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-


    services-training/pgdownload#windows. If you’re on 64-bit Windows, we suggest stable (non-
    beta) Win-x86-64 installer. For a guidance visit PostgreSQL installation wiki.

    During the installation you will be asked for database superuser (postgres) password – remember
    it well. Choose the default port for connections (5432). In the end the installer offers a Stack
    Builder for installing additional tools. Please, skip it.
    PostGIS

    Download appropriate PostGIS installer from PostGIS windows installers page


    http://download.osgeo.org/postgis/windows/. For PostgreSQL 9.4 64-bit you need postgis-bundle-
    pg94x64-setup-2.2.0-1.exe.

    Run the installer and choose ‘Yes’ for all questions (set GDAL_DATA environment variable, enable
    raster drivers and out of db rasters).

    PostgreSQL Con guration


    RiverGIS requires a PostgreSQL database with PostGIS spatial extensions. PostgreSQL comes with
    pgAdmin , a database management tool. We will use it to create spatial database for RiverGIS .

    Run pgAdmin and connect to server. If you have just installed PostgreSQL , localhost:5432 is the
    only option.
    Double-click on the server and enter the password you set during the installation.

    Right-click on Databases and choose New Database .

    Enter a name and click OK. There are plenty of other options to set, but for now we choose
    defaults.
    Open newly created database rivergis . There is only one schema (public) in the database and it
    has only one extension (plpgsql). You can create new schemas here by right-clicking on the
    Schemas or create them later from RiverGIS GUI.

    Use to open SQL query editor and create PostGIS extensions for the database. Enter the
    following query and press F5 :

    CREATE EXTENSION postgis;


    CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;
    In QGIS de ne a new database connection from Layer > Add layer > Add PostGIS Layers... .

    Pick New and ll in the connection details, for example:


    In this case the database server is installed on the local mashine (localhost) and is working on the
    default port 5432. The database is rivergis and user is postgres — a superuser with
    administrative rigths, that was created during the database installation. Check the connection
    using Test Connection . If the connection was succesful, close the dialog by clicking OK . If it fails to
    connect, check the connection details and try again.
