Configuring the Repository

Using packages from the pgedge repository is an easy way to manage Postgres and supporting components.

Meeting Platform-Specific Prerequisites

Before configuring local access to the repository (pgedge), you should ensure that your system does not contain any community Postgres packages. Then, install the platform-specific prerequisites for your system with the commands:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux v10 
  sudo dnf -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-10.noarch.rpm
  sudo subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-10-$(arch)-rpms
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux v9
  sudo dnf -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
  sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-rhui-rpms
  • Oracle Enterprise Linux v10
  sudo dnf -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-10.noarch.rpm
  sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled ol10_codeready_builder
  • Oracle Enterprise Linux v9
  sudo dnf -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
  sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled ol9_codeready_builder
  • Alma Linux v9/10
  sudo dnf install -y epel-release
  sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
  • Rocky Linux v9/10
  sudo dnf install -y epel-release
  sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb

Disable the PGDG repository (if enabled)

If you have enabled the PostgreSQL Global Development Group (PGDG) community repository, disable the repository before installing pgEdge packages. PGDG packages share file paths with pgEdge packages (e.g., pgBouncer, postgresql-common), which may cause installation failures:

sudo dnf config-manager --set-disabled pgdg*

Creating the Repository

After meeting the prerequisites for your system, create the repository with the command:

sudo dnf install -y https://dnf.pgedge.com/reporpm/pgedge-release-latest.noarch.rpm

After creating the repository, you're ready to use the repository to install Postgres and supporting components.
