As a followup to my previous post on turning Ubuntu Gutsy into a GIS workstation, Here are the revised instructions for Ubuntu 8.04 (The Hardy Heron).
Note that there are a few additonal apps and changes in here:
-
Postgis
-
Mapnik
-
New version of QGIS installed via repository
-
OpenStreetMap tools (JOSM and osm2pgsql)
-
Geotiff utilities
-
Some nice python spatial libs (shapely, owslib, geopy and pyproj)
Run the following as root on your new Hardy installation, answer a few configuration questions and you'll be ready to go.
echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/qgis/ubuntu hardy main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get -y --force-yes install grass mapserver-bin \
gdal-bin cgi-mapserver python-qt4 python-sip4 python-gdal \
python-mapscript gmt gmt-coastline-data r-recommended gpsbabel \
shapelib qgis qgis-plugin-grass python-setuptools \
python-mapnik mapnik-plugins mapnik-utils osm2pgsql josm postgresql-8.3-postgis \
python-dev build-essential libgdal-dev geotiff-bin sun-java6-jre
easy_install shapely geopy owslib pyproj
EDIT: If you're looking for more up to date packages for geos, gdal, etc, try adding deb http://les-ejk.cz/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse to your /etc/apt/sources.list
