------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements
In general, a modern Unix-compatible platform should be able to run
PostgreSQL. The platforms that had received explicit testing at the time of
release are listed in the Section called Supported Platforms below. In the
"doc" subdirectory of the distribution there are several platform-specific
FAQ documents you might wish to consult if you are having trouble.
The following prerequisites exist for building PostgreSQL:
* GNU make is required; other make programs will *not* work. GNU make is
often installed under the name "gmake"; this document will always refer
to it by that name. (On some systems GNU make is the default tool with
the name "make".) To test for GNU make enter
gmake --version
If at all possible you should use version 3.76.1 or later.
* You need an ISO/ANSI C compiler. Recent versions of GCC are
recommendable, but PostgreSQL is known to build with a wide variety of
compilers from different vendors.
* gzip
* The GNU Readline library for comfortable line editing and command
history retrieval will automatically be used if found. You might wish
to install it before proceeding, but it is not required. (On NetBSD,
the "libedit" library is readline-compatible and is used if
"libreadline" is not found.)
* Flex and Bison are *not* required when building from a released source
package because the output files are pre-generated. You will need these
programs only when building from a CVS tree or when the actual scanner
and parser definition files were changed. If you need them, be sure to
get Flex 2.5.4 or later and Bison 1.28 or later. Other yacc programs
can sometimes be used, but doing so requires extra efforts and is not
recommended. Other lex programs will definitely not work.
* To build on Windows NT or Windows 2000 you need the Cygwin and cygipc
packages. See the file "doc/FAQ_MSWIN" for details.
If you need to get a GNU package, you can find it at your local GNU mirror
site (see http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html for a list) or at
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/.
Also check that you have sufficient disk space. You will need about 30 MB
for the source tree during compilation and about 10 MB for the installation
directory. An empty database cluster takes about 20 MB, databases take about
five times the amount of space that a flat text file with the same data
would take. If you are going to run the regression tests you will
temporarily need an extra 20 MB. Use the "df" command to check for disk
space.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If You Are Upgrading
The internal data storage format changes with new releases of PostgreSQL.
Therefore, if you are upgrading an existing installation that does not have
a version number "7.2.x", you must back up and restore your data as shown
here. These instructions assume that your existing installation is under the
"/usr/local/pgsql" directory, and that the data area is in
"/usr/local/pgsql/data". Substitute your paths appropriately.
1. Make sure that your database is not updated during or after the backup.
This does not affect the integrity of the backup, but the changed data
would of course not be included. If necessary, edit the permissions in
the file "/usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf" (or equivalent) to
disallow access from everyone except you.
2. To dump your database installation, type:
pg_dumpall > outputfile
If you need to preserve the OIDs (such as when using them as foreign
keys), then use the "-o" option when running "pg_dumpall". "pg_dumpall"
does not save large objects. Check the Administrator's Guide if you
need to do this.
Make sure that you use the "pg_dumpall" command from the version you
are currently running. 7.2's "pg_dumpall" should not be used on older
databases.
3. If you are installing the new version at the same location as the old
one then shut down the old server, at the latest before you install the
new files:
kill -INT `cat /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid`
Versions prior to 7.0 do not have this "postmaster.pid" file. If you
are using such a version you must find out the process id of the server
yourself, for example by typing "ps ax | grep postmaster", and supply
it to the "kill" command.
On systems that have PostgreSQL started at boot time, there is probably
a start-up file that will accomplish the same thing. For example, on a
Red Hat Linux system one might find that
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql stop
works.
4. If you are installing in the same place as the old version then it is
also a good idea to move the old installation out of the way, in case
you still need it later on. Use a command like this:
mv /usr/local/pgsql /usr/local/pgsql.old
After you have installed PostgreSQL 7.2, create a new database directory and
start the new server. Remember that you must execute these commands while
logged in to the special database user account (which you already have if
you are upgrading).
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
Finally, restore your data with
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -d template1 -f outputfile
using the *new* psql.
You can also install the new version in parallel with the old one to
decrease the downtime. These topics are discussed at length in the
Administrator's Guide, which you are encouraged to read in any case.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation Procedure
1. Configuration
The first step of the installation procedure is to configure the source
tree for your system and choose the options you would like. This is
done by running the "configure" script. For a default installation
simply enter
./configure
This script will run a number of tests to guess values for various
system dependent variables and detect some quirks of your operating
system, and finally creates several files in the build tree to record
what it found.
The default configuration will build the server and utilities, as well
as all client applications and interfaces that only require a C
compiler. All files will be installed under "/usr/local/pgsql" by
default.
You can customize the build and installation process by supplying one
or more of the following command line options to "configure":
--prefix=PREFIX
Install all files under the directory "PREFIX" instead of
"/usr/local/pgsql". The actual files will be installed into
various subdirectories; no files will ever be installed directly
into the "PREFIX" directory.
If you have special needs, you can also customize the individual
subdirectories with the following options.
--exec-prefix=EXEC-PREFIX
You can install architecture-dependent files under a different
prefix, "EXEC-PREFIX", than what "PREFIX" was set to. This can be
useful to share architecture-independent files between hosts. If
you omit this, then "EXEC-PREFIX" is set equal to "PREFIX" and
both architecture-dependent and independent files will be
installed under the same tree, which is probably what you want.
--bindir=DIRECTORY
Specifies the directory for executable programs. The default is
"EXEC-PREFIX/bin", which normally means "/usr/local/pgsql/bin".
--datadir=DIRECTORY
Sets the directory for read-only data files used by the installed
programs. The default is "PREFIX/share". Note that this has
nothing to do with where your database files will be placed.
--sysconfdir=DIRECTORY
The directory for various configuration files, "PREFIX/etc" by
default.
--libdir=DIRECTORY
The location to install libraries and dynamically loadable
modules. The default is "EXEC-PREFIX/lib".
--includedir=DIRECTORY
The directory for installing C and C++ header files. The default
is "PREFIX/include".
--docdir=DIRECTORY
Documentation files, except "man" pages, will be installed into
this directory. The default is "PREFIX/doc".
--mandir=DIRECTORY
The man pages that come with PostgreSQL will be installed under
this directory, in their respective "manx" subdirectories. The
default is "PREFIX/man".
Note: Care has been taken to make it possible to install
PostgreSQL into shared installation locations (such as
"/usr/local/include") without interfering with the namespace
of the rest of the system. First, the string "/postgresql" is
automatically appended to datadir, sysconfdir, and docdir,
unless the fully expanded directory name already contains the
string "postgres" or "pgsql". For example, if you choose
"/usr/local" as prefix, the documentation will be installed
in "/usr/local/doc/postgresql", but if the prefix is
"/opt/postgres", then it will be in "/opt/postgres/doc".
Second, the installation layout of the C and C++ header files
has been reorganized in the 7.2 release. The public header
files of the client interfaces are installed into includedir
and are namespace-clean. The internal header files and the
server header files are installed into private directories
under includedir. See the Programmer's Guide for information
how to get at the header files for each interface. Finally, a
private subdirectory will also be created, if appropriate,
under libdir for dynamically loadable modules.
--with-includes=DIRECTORIES
"DIRECTORIES" is a colon-separated list of directories that will
be added to the list the compiler searches for header files. If
you have optional packages (such as GNU Readline) installed in a
non-standard location you have to use this option and probably the
corresponding "--with-libraries" option.
Example: --with-includes=/opt/gnu/include:/usr/sup/include.
--with-libraries=DIRECTORIES
"DIRECTORIES" is a colon-separated list of directories to search
for libraries. You will probably have to use this option (and the
corresponding "--with-includes" option) if you have packages
installed in non-standard locations.
Example: --with-libraries=/opt/gnu/lib:/usr/sup/lib.
--enable-locale
Enables locale support. There is a performance penalty associated
with locale support, but if you are not in an English-speaking
environment you will most likely need this.
--enable-recode
Enables single-byte character set recode support. See the
Administrator's Guide about this feature.
--enable-multibyte
Allows the use of multibyte character encodings (including
Unicode) and character set encoding conversion. Read the
Administrator's Guide for details.
Note that some interfaces (such as Tcl or Java) expect all
character strings to be in Unicode, so this option will be
required to correctly support these interfaces.
--enable-nls[=LANGUAGES]
Enables Native Language Support (NLS), that is, the ability to
display a program's message in a language other than English.
"LANGUAGES" is a space separated list of codes of the languages
that you want supported. (The intersection between your list and
the set of actually provided translations will be computed
automatically.) If you do not specify it, then all available
translations are installed.
To use this option, you will need an implementation of the gettext
API. Some operating systems have this built-in (e.g., Linux,
NetBSD, Solaris), for other systems you can download an add-on
package from here: http://www.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html.
If you are using the gettext implementation in the GNU C library
then you will additionally need the GNU gettext package for some
utility programs. For any of the other implementations you will
not need it.
--with-pgport=NUMBER
Set "NUMBER" as the default port number for server and clients.
The default is 5432. The port can always be changed later on, but
if you specify it here then both server and clients will have the
same default compiled in, which can be very convenient.
--with-CXX
Build the C++ interface library.
--with-perl
Build the Perl interface module. The Perl interface will be
installed at the usual place for Perl modules (typically under
"/usr/lib/perl"), so you must have root access to perform the
installation step (see step 4). You need to have Perl 5 installed
to use this option.
--with-python
Build the Python interface module. You need to have root access to
be able to install the Python module at its default place
("/usr/lib/pythonx.y"). To be able to use this option, you must
have Python installed and your system needs to support shared
libraries. If you instead want to build a new complete interpreter
binary, you will have to do it manually.
--with-tcl
Builds components that require Tcl/Tk, which are libpgtcl,
pgtclsh, pgtksh, PgAccess, and PL/Tcl. But see below about
"--without-tk".
--without-tk
If you specify "--with-tcl" and this option, then programs that
require Tk (pgtksh and PgAccess) will be excluded.
--with-tclconfig=DIRECTORY, --with-tkconfig=DIRECTORY
Tcl/Tk installs the files "tclConfig.sh" and "tkConfig.sh" which
contain certain configuration information that is needed to build
modules interfacing to Tcl or Tk. These files are normally found
automatically at their well-known location, but if you want to use
a different version of Tcl or Tk you can specify the directory
where to find them.
--enable-odbc
Build the ODBC driver. By default, the driver will be independent
of a driver manager. To work better with a driver manager already
installed on your system, use one of the following options. More
information can be found in the Programmer's Guide.
--with-iodbc
Build the ODBC driver for use with iODBC.
--with-unixodbc
Build the ODBC driver for use with unixODBC.
--with-odbcinst=DIRECTORY
Specifies the directory where the ODBC driver will expect its
"odbcinst.ini" configuration file. The default is
"/usr/local/pgsql/etc" or whatever you specified as
"--sysconfdir". It should be arranged that the driver reads the
same file as the driver manager.
If either the option "--with-iodbc" or the option
"--with-unixodbc" is used, this option will be ignored because in
that case the driver manager handles the location of the
configuration file.
--with-krb4=DIRECTORY, --with-krb5=DIRECTORY
Build with support for Kerberos authentication. You can use either
Kerberos version 4 or 5, but not both. The "DIRECTORY" argument
specifies the root directory of the Kerberos installation;
"/usr/athena" is assumed as default. If the relevant headers files
and libraries are not under a common parent directory, then you
must use the "--with-includes" and "--with-libraries" options in
addition to this option. If, on the other hand, the required files
are in a location that is searched by default (e.g., "/usr/lib"),
then you can leave off the argument.
"configure" will check for the required header files and libraries
to make sure that your Kerberos installation is sufficient before
proceeding.
--with-krb-srvnam=NAME
The name of the Kerberos service principal. postgres is the
default. There's probably no reason to change this.
--with-openssl=DIRECTORY
Build with support for SSL (encrypted) connections. This requires
the OpenSSL package to be installed. The "DIRECTORY" argument
specifies the root directory of the OpenSSL installation; the
default is "/usr/local/ssl".
"configure" will check for the required header files and libraries
to make sure that your OpenSSL installation is sufficient before
proceeding.
--with-java
Build the JDBC driver and associated Java packages. This option
requires Ant to be installed (as well as a JDK, of course). Refer
to the JDBC driver documentation in the Programmer's Guide for
more information.
--enable-syslog
Enables the PostgreSQL server to use the syslog logging facility.
(Using this option does not mean that you must log with syslog or
even that it will be done by default, it simply makes it possible
to turn this option on at run time.)
--enable-debug
Compiles all programs and libraries with debugging symbols. This
means that you can run the programs through a debugger to analyze
problems. This enlarges the size of the installed executables
considerably, and on non-GCC compilers it usually also disables
compiler optimization, causing slowdowns. However, having the
symbols available is extremely helpful for dealing with any
problems that may arise. Currently, this option is considered of
marginal value for production installations, but you should have
it on if you are doing development work or running a beta version.
--enable-cassert
Enables assertion checks in the server, which test for many "can't
happen" conditions. This is invaluable for code development
purposes, but the tests slow things down a little. Also, having
the tests turned on won't necessarily enhance the stability of
your server! The assertion checks are not categorized for
severity, and so what might be a relatively harmless bug will
still lead to server restarts if it triggers an assertion failure.
Currently, this option is not recommended for production use, but
you should have it on for development work or when running a beta
version.
If you prefer a C or C++ compiler different from the one "configure"
picks then you can set the environment variables CC and CXX,
respectively, to the program of your choice. Similarly, you can
override the default compiler flags with the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS
variables. For example:
env CC=/opt/bin/gcc CFLAGS='-02 -pipe' ./configure
2. Build
To start the build, type
gmake
(Remember to use GNU make.) The build can take anywhere from 5 minutes
to half an hour. The last line displayed should be
All of PostgreSQL is successfully made. Ready to install.
3. Regression Tests
If you want to test the newly built server before you install it, you
can run the regression tests at this point. The regression tests are a
test suite to verify that PostgreSQL runs on your machine in the way
the developers expected it to. Type
gmake check
(This won't work as root; do it as an unprivileged user.) It is
possible that some tests fail, due to differences in error message
wording or floating point results. The file "src/test/regress/README"
and the Administrator's Guide contain detailed information about
interpreting the test results. You can repeat this test at any later
time by issuing the same command.
4. Installing The Files
Note: If you are upgrading an existing system and are going
to install the new files over the old ones then you should
have backed up your data and shut down the old server by now,
as explained in the Section called If You Are Upgrading
above.
To install PostgreSQL enter
gmake install
This will install files into the directories that were specified in
step 1. Make sure that you have appropriate permissions to write into
that area. Normally you need to do this step as root. Alternatively,
you could create the target directories in advance and arrange for
appropriate permissions to be granted.
If you built the Perl or Python interfaces and you were not the root
user when you executed the above command then that part of the
installation probably failed. In that case you should become the root
user and then do
gmake -C src/interfaces/perl5 install
gmake -C src/interfaces/python install
If you do not have superuser access you are on your own: you can still
take the required files and place them in other directories where Perl
or Python can find them, but how to do that is left as an exercise.
The standard install installs only the header files needed for client
application development. If you plan to do any server-side program
development (such as custom functions or data types written in C), then
you may want to install the entire PostgreSQL include tree into your
target include directory. To do that, enter
gmake install-all-headers
This adds a megabyte or two to the installation footprint, and is only
useful if you don't plan to keep the whole source tree around for
reference. (If you do, you can just use the source's include directory
when building server-side software.)
Client-only installation. If you want to install only the client
applications and interface libraries, then you can use these commands:
gmake -C src/bin install
gmake -C src/interfaces install
gmake -C doc install
To undo the installation use the command "gmake uninstall". However,
this will not remove any directories.
After the installation you can make room by removing the built files from
the source tree with the "gmake clean" command. This will preserve the
choices made by the configure program, so that you can rebuild everything
with "gmake" later on. To reset the source tree to the state in which it was
distributed, use "gmake distclean". If you are going to build for several
platforms from the same source tree you must do this and re-configure for
each build.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Post-Installation Setup
Shared Libraries
On some systems that have shared libraries (which most systems do) you need
to tell your system how to find the newly installed shared libraries. The
systems on which this is *not* necessary include BSD/OS, FreeBSD, HP-UX,
IRIX, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Tru64 UNIX (formerly Digital UNIX), and
Solaris.
The method to set the shared library search path varies between platforms,
but the most widely usable method is to set the environment variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH like so: In Bourne shells ("sh", "ksh", "bash", "zsh")
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or in "csh" or "tcsh"
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/pgsql/lib
Replace /usr/local/pgsql/lib with whatever you set "--libdir" to in step 1.
You should put these commands into a shell start-up file such as
"/etc/profile" or "~/.bash_profile". Some good information about the caveats
associated with the method can be found at
http://www.visi.com/~barr/ldpath.html.
On some systems it might be preferable to set the environment variable
LD_RUN_PATH *before* building.
If in doubt, refer to the manual pages of your system (perhaps "ld.so" or
"rld"). If you later on get a message like
psql: error in loading shared libraries
libpq.so.2.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
then this step was necessary. Simply take care of it then.
If you are on BSD/OS, Linux, or SunOS 4 and you have root access you can run
/sbin/ldconfig /usr/local/pgsql/lib
(or equivalent directory) after installation to enable the run-time linker
to find the shared libraries faster. Refer to the manual page of "ldconfig"
for more information. On FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD the command is
/sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/pgsql/lib
instead. Other systems are not known to have an equivalent command.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Environment Variables
If you installed into "/usr/local/pgsql" or some other location that is not
searched for programs by default, you need to add "/usr/local/pgsql/bin" (or
what you set "--bindir" to in step 1) into your PATH. To do this, add the
following to your shell start-up file, such as "~/.bash_profile" (or
"/etc/profile", if you want it to affect every user):
PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH
If you are using "csh" or "tcsh", then use this command:
set path = ( /usr/local/pgsql/bin $path )
To enable your system to find the man documentation, you need to add a line
like the following to a shell start-up file:
MANPATH=/usr/local/pgsql/man:$MANPATH
The environment variables PGHOST and PGPORT specify to client applications
the host and port of the database server, overriding the compiled-in
defaults. If you are going to run client applications remotely then it is
convenient if every user that plans to use the database sets PGHOST, but it
is not required and the settings can be communicated via command line
options to most client programs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting Started
The following is a quick summary of how to get PostgreSQL up and running
once installed. The Administrator's Guide contains more information.
1. Create a user account for the PostgreSQL server. This is the user the
server will run as. For production use you should create a separate,
unprivileged account ("postgres" is commonly used). If you do not have
root access or just want to play around, your own user account is
enough, but running the server as root is a security risk and will not
work.
adduser postgres
2. Create a database installation with the "initdb" command. To run
"initdb" you must be logged in to your PostgreSQL server account. It
will not work as root.
root# mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
root# chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
root# su - postgres
postgres$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
The "-D" option specifies the location where the data will be stored.
You can use any path you want, it does not have to be under the
installation directory. Just make sure that the server account can
write to the directory (or create it, if it doesn't already exist)
before starting "initdb", as illustrated here.
3. The previous step should have told you how to start up the database
server. Do so now. The command should look something like
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
This will start the server in the foreground. To put the server in the
background use something like
nohup /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data \
</dev/null >>server.log 2>&1 </dev/null &
To stop a server running in the background you can type
kill `cat /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid`
In order to allow TCP/IP connections (rather than only Unix domain
socket ones) you need to pass the "-i" option to "postmaster".
4. Create a database:
createdb testdb
Then enter
psql testdb
to connect to that database. At the prompt you can enter SQL commands
and start experimenting.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What Now?
* The Tutorial should be your first reading if you are completely new to
SQL databases. It should have been installed at
"/usr/local/pgsql/doc/html/tutorial.html" unless you changed the
installation directories.
* If you are familiar with database concepts then you want to proceed
with the Administrator's Guide, which contains information about how to
set up the database server, database users, and authentication. It can
be found at "/usr/local/pgsql/doc/html/admin.html".
* Usually, you will want to modify your computer so that it will
automatically start the database server whenever it boots. Some
suggestions for this are in the Administrator's Guide.
* Run the regression tests against the installed server (using the
sequential test method). If you didn't run the tests before
installation, you should definitely do it now. This is also explained
in the Administrator's Guide.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supported Platforms
PostgreSQL has been verified by the developer community to work on the
platforms listed below. A supported platform generally means that PostgreSQL
builds and installs according to these instructions and that the regression
tests pass.
Note: If you are having problems with the installation on a
supported platform, please write to <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org> or
<pgsql-ports@postgresql.org>, not to the people listed here.
