Docker. See: https://github.com/vpicavet/docker-pggis for a quick and easy Docker running PostGIS. Understand, this isn’t production ready (the connection permissions make my teeth hurt a little) but, so nice to have a one stop shop for postgis, pgrouting, and pointcloud. Now I may have to write blog posts on pointcloud. Point cloud didn’t get in the PostGIS Cookbook because it was too hard to build. I built it. I played with its wonders. Then I decided it was too much too early. Well, not any more… .
CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;
CREATE EXTENSION pgrouting;
CREATE EXTENSION pointcloud;
CREATE EXTENSION pointcloud_postgis;
Oh, one more thing: pro-tip. You can modify the Docker file into a shell script for installing all this goodness on your local Ubuntu/Debian machine as well:
