I'm following this tutorial to setup the geocoder.

I'm stuck on the step 2.8.1.4

"edit the paths in the declare_sect column to those that fit Debbie's pg, unzip,shp2pgsql, psql, etc path locations."

The script is not finding any of the files. E.G. for the PostgreSQL bin I have set:

export PGBIN=”/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin”

Which is similar to the one in this answer:

And it seems to have the required files:

enter image description here

Nevertheless, I'm getting errors when I run nation_script_load.sh

nation_script_load.sh: 17: nation_script_load.sh: ”/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin”/psql: not found

nation_script_load.sh: 18: nation_script_load.sh: ”/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin”/psql: not found

Even the site to get the data seems to be falling:

ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2015/STATE: No such file or directoryftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2015/STATE/.listing: No such file or directory

    The log has ” (unicode U+201D), try using ordinary quotation marks (") in your export statement, or just don't use them at all: export PGBIN=/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin Commented May 18, 2017 at 1:06

A few things,

  1. first Richard Law is right in the comments.. Quotes in EXPORT statements should be ".
  2. If you could run TABLE tiger.loader_platform and paste the output, I'd like to see what those variables are set to. Also paste the top of the script generated where the env variables are.
  3. Your tiger data is 2015. It's up to you what year you want to use. I would upgrade postgis_tiger_geocoder.
