Hi Dominic, are you using Ubuntu, and did you use the ubuntu_trusty_setup.sh script to install the dependencies? I ask because I had exactly the same issue at first, and realized that it was because the commands in this <https://bitbucket.org/arches/arches3/raw/b295633aec4d5b3bb7cba10d439a43648ce75701/arches/install/ubuntu_trusty_setup.sh> ubuntu_trusty_setup.sh script (the one linked in the documentation) that install geos and create the postgis extension do not start with sudo, so they failed. I added sudo to that script and ran it and then everything installed correctly. Here's <http://www.adamcfcox.com/ubuntu_trusty_setup.sh> a link to the edited script in case you're interested.
