Postgres dB Installation in Linux

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

Step 1: Set up the EDB repository

To determine if your repository exists, enter this command:

dnf repolist | grep enterprisedb

If no output is generated, the repository isn’t installed.

To set up the EDB repository:

• Go to EDB repositories.
• Select the button that provides access to the EDB repository.
• Select the platform and software that you want to download.
• Follow the instructions for setting up the EDB repository.

Install the EPEL repository:

sudo dnf -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm

Enable additional repositories to resolve dependencies:

ARCH=$( /bin/arch ) subscription-manager repos --enable "codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-${ARCH}-rpms"

Disable the built-in PostgreSQL module:

dnf -qy module disable postgresql

Install the package

sudo dnf -y install postgresql<xx>-server postgresql<xx>-contrib

Where <xx> is the version of PostgreSQL you are installing. For example, if you are installing version 16, the package name would be postgresql16-server postgresql16-contrib.
