      Chapter 1. Installing PostgreSQL

      This chapter gives you an overview of the process to install PostgreSQL from the source. The system used for installation and providing examples in the following sections is a 64-bit CentOS (6.4) machine. Other Unix/Linux systems typically have similar commands. For those using Windows systems, there is a set of utilities available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils/, which makes it possible to execute most of the Unix commands (find, grep, cut, and so on) in the Windows environment. The steps to be followed to install PostgreSQL on Windows are very different compared to those for Unix/Linux systems and are not covered in this chapter.

      Installation options

      There are many possible ways to install PostgreSQL on a system. For Windows, downloading the Graphical Installer and using this is the easy way. For Linux systems such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, we could either use Yellow dog Updater Modified (yum) or Red Hat Package Manager or RPM Package Manager (rpm) commands to install PostgreSQL. For Ubuntu, PostgreSQL can be installed using the apt-get command, which in turn works with Ubuntu's Advanced Packaging Tool (APT). While these options work, we do not get to see what is happening when we execute these commands, except, of course, that the database gets installed.

      Then there are situations where we might want to build from the source. Assume that all we have is one production server and one development or staging server. We are on version 9.3. Version 9.4 is about to be released and there are quite a few interesting features in 9.4 that we want to try out. If we want to install 9.4 in the test server and use it alongside 9.3, without the installations stepping on each other's toes, compiling from the source with the --prefix= option and specifying different installation directories is the right approach. We could also set different default ports. It's also possible that the new version (source) is ready, but the package for our Linux distribution is not ready
