Postgres app mac set binaries location6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() For this I need to use initdb program, but not this one installed at system level, but this one from ~/postgres/bin/ directory: ~/postgres/bin/initdb -D ~/postgres/data/ The data will be at ~/postgres/data directory. I’m going to keep the database in the same directory as the installed files. This should create four directories in ~/postgres/ * bin Installation copies all files into the directory from the –prefix parameter. If compilation ended without error, you can install the database. On my laptop compilation with 4 cores takes 1 minute 26 seconds. My computer has 4 cores, I want to use all of them, this way compilation time will be much shorter. The -j parameter allows for this maximum number of jobs at the same time. If configure succeeded, you can compile the sources. If you have any errors, most probably you don’t have some needed libraries installed. The configure command should finish without any errors. ![]() PYTHON parameter points to current python binary installation. The –with-python parameter enables compiling with plpython support. The –prefix parameter shows the path where Postgres will be installed. configure -prefix=$HOME/postgres/ -with-python PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.7 Now you should enter the directory where your sources are and run below command for source configuration. If you are using different system, or different system/Postgres version, then your packages/libraries can be named differently. libpython2.7, libpython2.7-dev - for compiling with PL/Python support.zlib1g, zlib1g-dev - compression library used internally by Postgres.libreadline6, libreadline6-dev - readline support.I’m using Ubuntu, the packages I use for compiling Postgres are: The complete list can be found in Postgres documentation. Install Needed Softwareįor compiling Postgres you will need some libraries and programs. ![]() Unpack it somewhere, and you have the Postgres sources you need. I clone that, but you could just download zip file. I use GitHub for getting the latest sources. Download Sourcesįirst of all you need to download sources. The only way to install Postgres without root privileges, in home directory, is to compile it from sources. What’s more, this way you rather will not install the PostgreSQL beta version. Installation requires root privileges, on some machines programmers are not allowed to do that. However this way you just depend on the installation settings chosen by the packages mainainers. PostgreSQL can be installed using installers prepared for your operation system. ![]()
