-* The best place to get the latest binaries for both PostgreSQL and PostGIS is from the [PostgreSQL download page Debian](https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/) and [PostgreSQL download page Ubuntu](https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/).

-* The PostgreSQL build team has packages for Debian and Ubuntu for several versions of PostgreSQL and PostGIS [APT repository](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt) for PostgreSQL builds.
+ ```sh
+ sudo apt install -y postgresql-common
+ sudo /usr/share/postgresql-common/pgdg/apt.postgresql.org.sh

+
+## PostgreSQL Apt Repository
+
+After configuring the PostgreSQL Apt Repository, replace `18` below with the
+PostgreSQL major you want to run:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install postgresql-18 postgresql-18-postgis-3
+```
+
+Install the PostGIS command-line tools, such as `shp2pgsql` and `raster2pgsql`,
+with:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install postgis
+```
+
+Debian-style PostgreSQL packages can install several PostgreSQL majors side by
+side. Check the active clusters and ports with:
+
+```sh
+pg_lsclusters
+```
+
+Create a user database before enabling extensions. Do not install PostGIS in the
+default `postgres` maintenance database:
+
+```sql
+CREATE DATABASE gisdb;
+\connect gisdb
+CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
+SELECT postgis_full_version();
+```
+
+Enable optional extensions only when you need them:
+
+```sql
+CREATE EXTENSION postgis_raster;
+CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;
+CREATE EXTENSION postgis_sfcgal;
+```
+
+Packages for related projects such as pgRouting follow the same PostgreSQL-major
+pattern, for example `postgresql-18-pgrouting`.
