Check version/if installed PROJ4


I'm really new in working with Geospatial Libraries and I was able to install GDAL and PostGIS already. I just wanted to check if I was really able to include the packages GEOS and PROJ4 that is a requirement for PostGIS.

What command lines should I type in to check their versions or if they are installed?

I just need the proj4 checking:

PostGreSQL version : $ psql --version

PostGIS version : Connect to your database, =# SELECT PostGIS_full_version();

GDAL version: $ gdal-info --version

GEOS version: $ geos-config --version


Solution

  • I recommend using pkg-config if you can as it allows you to query

    and actually just detailed all of that in a comment to the sf repo which is also in the geo-spatial space.

    Quoting:

    edd@max:~$ pkg-config --atleast-version=2.1.0 gdal && echo "Yes we are good"
    edd@max:~$ pkg-config --atleast-version=2.1.0 gdal || echo "Insufficient"
    Insufficient
    edd@max:~$ 
    

    I don't have proj4 installed so I can't illustrate that.

    Edit: I spoke too soon -- I do have it:

    edd@max:~$ pkg-config --modversion proj
    4.9.2
    edd@max:~$ pkg-config --atleast-version=4.9.0 proj && echo "Yes"
    Yes
    edd@max:~$
