Before you proceed to install PostGIS, make sure you have PROJ4, GEOS 3.0 and PL/pgSQL prodedural language installed on your server. Now download the latest version of PostGIS from their web site and follow the below steps:

tar xvfz postgis-1.3.1.tar.gz                             //File name may change according to version
cd postgis-1.3.1
./configure
make
make install
createlang plpgsql yourtestdatabase
psql -d yourtestdatabase -f lwpostgis.sql
psql -d yourtestdatabase -f spatial_ref_sys.sql
