No you don't need postgres, we happen to duplicate the data into a postgis copy as well as the native shp.
Basically the script makes a folder called: /usr/local/share/data/natural_earth Into that folder the various selected layer are downloaded from: BASE_URL="http://www.naturalearthdata.com"; LAYERS=" cultural/$SCALE-populated-places-simple cultural/$SCALE-admin-0-countries cultural/$SCALE-admin-1-states-provinces-shp cultural/$SCALE-urban-area physical/$SCALE-geography-regions-polys physical/$SCALE-geography-regions-points physical/$SCALE-geography-regions-elevation-points physical/$SCALE-geography-marine-polys physical/$SCALE-land physical/$SCALE-ocean physical/$SCALE-lakes physical/$SCALE-rivers-lake-centerlines " Where scale in this case is 10m. To put an example together: http://www.naturalearthdata.com/cultural/10m/10m-populated-places-simple.zip You really only need about line 57-131, plus a couple of the variables set at the top. You could also probably get away with just looking at the example file and seeing which layers it wants and just download those directly from the Natural Earth website.
