→Tiger Geocoder Extension
$ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends postgis</nowiki>
Note the last line. Without the <code>--no-install-recommends</code> line postgres assumes you're using the default configuration (in this case, postgis for postgresql 9.6). Since we're using a different flavor of postgispostgresql, we do not want this.
The <code>postgis</code> apt package is not the extension to postgres. It is a collection of command line utilities for importing and exporting data to a postgis db.
