[edit] Installation

The installation is described for Linux.

If you don't have a JRE already, you have to install one. You can skip this if you already have a compatible JRE.

Download a JRE from Sun, e.g. Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 12, copy the .bin file to /opt.
```
cd /opt
```
```
chmod a+x jre-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin
```
```
./jre-1_5_0_12-linux-i586.bin
```
Follow the on-screen instructions

```
cd /opt
```
Download the binary edition of geoserver (use the .war version if you already have a Java Servlet Engine running), e.g. geoserver-1.5.1-bin.zip,
```
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/geoserver/geoserver-1.5.1-bin.zip
```
```
unzip geoserver-1.5.1-bin.zip
```
```
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jre1.5.0_12/
```
```
cd geoserver; bin/startup.sh
```

PostGIS is part of most Linux distributions. Install it using e.g.

apt-get install postgis postgresql-8.1-postgis

for Debian/Ubuntu or

yum install postgis

on Fedora.

Log in as postgres user
Create a new database:
```
createdb geowiki -U postgres
```
Install stored procedure support:
```
createlang -U postgres plpgsql geowiki
```

Install GIS support:

psql -U postgres geowiki < /usr/share/postgresql-8.1-postgis/lwpostgis.sql

Create the geodata table with the geoserver.psql script from the extension directory
```
psql -U postgres geowiki < geoserver.psql
```
