It’s a full installation package for PostgreSQL on Windows but you can set it to only install the command line tools like psql. We currently recommend using the PostgreSQL installer from Enterprise DB. On Windows 10, there’s a bit more work to be done. So, for Fedora 27, 28, and later, install the PostgreSQL client from the terminal with: It also includes Fedora.įedora’s default repositories already have a PostgreSQL client available from them. You’ll find a form which will let you select the PostgreSQL version, platform, and architecture, and it’ll give you the appropriate instructions for that Red Hat variant-that includes CentOS, Scientific Linux, and Oracle Enterprise Linux. If you are wondering where to find that repository URL, head to Linux Downloads (Red Hat Family). With that done, you can add packages from it by name: Yum goes to that URL and configures itself to use that package repository. First, you need to point yum at the PostgreSQL repository like this: This will install the PostgreSQL 10 client, which can easily connect to earlier versions of PostgreSQL.įor Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), there’s a little more set up to do than with Ubuntu. The PostgreSQL client is distributed in the appositely named postgresql-client, so all you need to do is run the following: For Ubuntu (and Debian-based distributions) thats’s the apt command. Linux systems (unlike macOS) have a package manager built in. You’re now ready to run psql and start connecting. This will symlink all the tools (not just libpq) into the /usr/local/bin directory.
There’s a small catch though-libpq won’t install itself in the /usr/local/bin directory. Homebrew’s package for the PostgreSQL client tools is the libpq package. With Homebrew in place, you’ll be able to install numerous applications, usually with the programs available in /usr/local/bin. We recommend Homebrew as a package manager for macOS. In this PostgreSQL Tip, we’ll look at how you can install just psql on Windows, Linux, and macOS, allowing you to quickly get up and running and connected to your IBM Cloud Databases (ICD) for PostgreSQL service. It’s a reasonable assumption if you’re dealing with users who don’t have access to PostgreSQL in the cloud or on a remote server. Most instructions for installing the PostgreSQL tools assume you want the database installed too. Why install all of PostgreSQL when your database server is up in the cloud, managed as an IBM Cloud Database for PostgreSQL?
