 Installation of the GeoDjango module will also require the installation of existing open source geographic libraries and a spatial database (currently only PostGIS).  This section will describe the installation process for these libraries.  Initially, these instructions will pertain only to a Linux platform (particularly Debian or Ubuntu).  Mac & Windows support will be considered later; however, these instructions will most likely work through the Mac shell.  Don't hold your breath for Windows support.
 == GEOS ==
- * Required
+ * Latest GEOS version is 3.0.0RC4
+{{{
+$ ./configure --enable-python
+$ make
+# make install
+}}}
 == PROJ ==
- * Required
+ * Latest PROJ version is 4.5.0
+{{{
+$ ./configure
+$ make
+# make install 
+}}}
 == PostGIS ==
- * Required
+ * Latest PostGIS version is 1.2.1
+ * First build & install PostGIS.   We are currently using v8.1 of PostgreSQL.
+{{{
+$ ./configure --with-geos --with-proj
+$ make
+# make install
+}}}
+
+ * Next, create a role and database for your application, and allow it to access PostGIS functionality:
+{{{
+# su - postgres
+$ psql
+postgres=# CREATE ROLE <user> LOGIN CREATEDB;
+postgres=# \q
+$ createdb -O <user> <db_name>
+$ createlang plpgsql <db_name>
+$ psql -d <db_name> -f /usr/local/share/lwpostgis.sql
+$ psql -d <db_name> -f /usr/local/share/spatial_ref_sys.sql
+$ psql <db_name>
+<db_name>=# GRANT SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE ON geometry_columns TO <user>;
+<db_name>=# GRANT SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE ON spatial_ref_sys TO <user>;
+}}}
+ 
+ * Finally, update your settings.py to reflect the name and user for the spatially enabled database.  So far, we only plan to support the psycopg2 backend, thus: DATABASE_ENGINE='postgresql_psycopg2'.
 == GDAL ==
  * Optional, but useful for coordinate transformations.
