    follow the instructions from the url: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/install/#spatialdb-template
    use Debian/Ubuntu 	create_template_postgis-debian.sh


* Create spatial database using the template::

    follow the instructions from the url: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/tutorial/#setting-up
    $ createdb -T template_postgis geodjango

* Import the shape files in the spatial database::

    Clone the git@github.com:mangroveorg/shape_files.git to a folder which is at the same level as the mangrove repository.
    E.g. /home/user/code/mangrove and /home/user/code/shape_files
