Proceed through the following sections sequentially in order to install

These instructions assume that you are using 32-bit versions of
all programs. While 64-bit versions of Python and PostgreSQL 9.0
are available, 64-bit versions of spatial libraries, like
GEOS and GDAL, are not yet provided by the :ref:`OSGeo4W` installer.
Python
^^^^^^
First, download the `Python 2.6 installer`__ from the Python Web site. Next,
execute the installer and use defaults, e.g., keep 'Install for all users'
checked and the installation path set as ``C:\Python26``.
First, download the latest `Python 2.7 installer`__ from the Python Web site.
Next, run the installer and keep the defaults -- for example, keep
'Install for all users' checked and the installation path set as
``C:\Python27``.
.. note::
You may already have a version of Python installed in ``C:\python`` as ESRI
products sometimes install a copy there. *You should still install a
fresh version of Python 2.6.*

PostgreSQL
^^^^^^^^^^
First, select a mirror and download the latest `PostgreSQL 8.3 installer`__ from
the EnterpriseDB Web site.
First, download the latest `PostgreSQL 9.0 installer`__ from the
`EnterpriseDB`__ Web site. After downloading, simply run the installer,
follow the on-screen directions, and keep the default options unless
you know the consequences of changing them.
.. note::
PostgreSQL 8.3 is required because PostGIS is not available yet for 8.4.
The PostgreSQL installer creates both a new Windows user to be the
'postgres service account' and a ``postgres`` database superuser
You will be prompted once to set the password for both accounts --
make sure to remember it!
After downloading, simply click on the installer, follow the
on-screen directions, and keep the default options (e.g., keep the installation
path as ``C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3``).
When the installer completes, it will ask to launch the Application Stack
Builder (ASB) on exit -- keep this checked, as it is necessary to
install :ref:`postgisasb`.
.. note::
This PostgreSQL installation process will create both a new windows user to be the
'postgres service account' and a special 'postgres superuser' to own the database
cluster. You will be prompted to set a password for both users (make sure to write
them down!). To see basic details on the 'service user' account right click on
'My Computer' and select 'Manage' or go to: Control Panel -> Administrative Tools ->
Computer Management -> System Tools -> Local Users and Groups.
If installed successfully, the PostgreSQL server will run in the
background each time the system as started as a Windows service.
A :menuselection:`PostgreSQL 9.0` start menu group will created
and contains shortcuts for the ASB as well as the 'SQL Shell',
which will launch a ``psql`` command window.
If installed successfully, the PostgreSQL server will run in the background each time
the system as started as a Windows service. When finished, the installer should launch
the Application Stack Builder (ASB) -- use this to install PostGIS, see instructions
below for more details. A 'PostgreSQL 8.3' start menu group should be created that
contains shortcuts for the ASB and 'Command Prompt', which launches a terminal window
in the PostgreSQL directory.

^^^^^^^
From the Application Stack Builder (Programs -> PostgreSQL 8.3), select
'PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3 on port 5432' from the drop down menu. Next,
select 'PostGIS 1.3.6 for PostgreSQL 8.3' from the 'Spatial Extensions' tree
in the list. Select only the default options during install (do not uncheck
the option to create a default PostGIS database).
From within the Application Stack Builder (to run outside of the installer,

menu. Next, expand the :menuselection:`Categories --> Spatial Extensions` menu
tree and select :menuselection:`PostGIS 1.5 for PostgreSQL 9.0`.
After clicking next, you will be prompted to select your mirror, PostGIS
will be downloaded, and the PostGIS installer will begin. Select only the
default options during install (e.g., do not uncheck the option to create a

GeoDjango Installer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. _osgeo4w:
Download the `GeoDjango Installer`__; this was created [#]_ to simplify the rest
of the process for installing GeoDjango on Windows platforms. The installer
automatically installs Django 1.1, GDAL 1.6.0, PROJ 4.6.1 (including datum grid
files), and configures the necessary environment variables.
OSGeo4W
^^^^^^^
Once the installer has completed, log out and log back in so that the
modifications to the system environment variables take effect, and you
should be good to go.
The `OSGeo4W installer`_ makes it simple to install the PROJ.4, GDAL, and GEOS
libraries required by GeoDjango. First, download the `OSGeo4W installer`_,
and run it. Select :menuselection:`Express Web-GIS Install` and click next.
In the 'Select Packages' list, ensure that GDAL is selected; MapServer and
Apache are also enabled by default, but are not required by GeoDjango and
may be unchecked safely. After clicking next, the packages will be
automatically downloaded and installed, after which you may exit the
installer.

Modify Windows Environment
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In order to use GeoDjango, you will need to add your Python and OSGeo4W
directories to your Windows system ``Path``, as well as create ``GDAL_DATA``
and ``PROJ_LIB`` environment variables. The following set of commands,
executable with ``cmd.exe``, will set this up::
set OSGEO4W_ROOT=C:\OSGeo4W
set PYTHON_ROOT=C:\Python27
set GDAL_DATA=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\share\gdal
set PROJ_LIB=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\share\proj
set PATH=%PATH%;%PYTHON_ROOT%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin
reg ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v Path /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /f /d "%PATH%"
reg ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v GDAL_DATA /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /f /d "%GDAL_DATA%"
reg ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v PROJ_LIB /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /f /d "%PROJ_LIB%"
For your convenience, these commands are available in the execuatble batch
script, :download:`geodjango_setup.bat`.
.. note::
The installer modifies the system ``Path`` environment variable to
include ``C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin`` and
``C:\Program Files\GeoDjango\bin``. This is required so that Python
may find the GEOS DLL provided by PostGIS and the GDAL DLL provided
by the installer. The installer also sets the ``GDAL_DATA`` and
``PROJ_LIB`` environment variables.
Administrator privileges are required to execute these commands.
To do this, right-click on :download:`geodjango_setup.bat` and select
:menuselection:`Run as administrator`. You need to log out and log back in again
for the settings to take effect.
__ http://geodjango.org/windows/GeoDjango_Installer.exe
.. note::
If you customized the Python or OSGeo4W installation directories,
then you will need to modify the ``OSGEO4W_ROOT`` and/or ``PYTHON_ROOT``
variables accordingly.
Install Django and Setup Database
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Finally, :ref:`install Django <installing-official-release>` on your system.
You do not need to create a spatial database template, as one named
``template_postgis`` is created for you when installing PostGIS.
To administer the database, you can either use the pgAdmin III program
(:menuselection:`Start --> PostgreSQL 9.0 --> pgAdmin III`) or the
SQL Shell (:menuselection:`Start --> PostgreSQL 9.0 --> SQL Shell`).
For example, to create a ``geodjango`` spatial database and user, the following
may be executed from the SQL Shell as the ``postgres`` user::
postgres# CREATE USER geodjango PASSWORD 'my_passwd';
postgres# CREATE DATABASE geodjango OWNER geodjango TEMPLATE template_postgis ENCODING 'utf8';
