  10 The Red Hat family of distributions includes:
  11 </p>
  12 <p>
  13   <ul>
  14     <li>Red Hat Enterprise Linux</li>
  15     <li>Rocky Linux</li>
  16     <li>CentOS (7 and 6 only)</li>
  17     <li>Fedora</li>
  18     <li>Oracle Linux</li>
  19   </ul>
  20 </p>
  21 <p>and others.</p>
  22 <p>
  23 PostgreSQL is available on these platforms by default. However,
  24 each version of the platform normally "snapshots" a specific version of
  25 PostgreSQL that is then supported throughout the lifetime of this platform.
  26 Since this can often mean a different version than preferred, the PostgreSQL
  27 project provides a <a href="#yum">repository</a> of packages of all
  28 supported versions for the most common distributions.
  29 </p>
  30
  31 <a name="yum"></a>
  32 <h2>PostgreSQL Yum Repository</h2>
  33 <p>
  34 The <a href="https://yum.postgresql.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PostgreSQL Yum Repository</a> will integrate
  35 with your normal systems and patch management, and provide automatic
  36 updates for all supported versions of PostgreSQL throughout the support
  37 <a href="/support/versioning/">lifetime</a> of PostgreSQL.
  38 </p>
  39 <p>
  40 The PostgreSQL Yum Repository currently supports:
  41 </p>
  42 <p>
  43   <ul>
  44     <li>Red Hat Enterprise Linux</li>
  45     <li>Rocky Linux</li>
  46     <li>CentOS (7 and 6 only)</li>
  47     <li>Oracle Linux</li>
  48     <li>Fedora<sup>*</sup></li>
  49   </ul>
  50 </p>
  51 <p><strong><sup>*</sup>Note</strong>: due to the shorter support cycle
  52 on Fedora, all supported versions of PostgreSQL are not available on this platform. We do not recommend
  53 using Fedora for server deployments.
  54 </p>
  55 <p>
  56 To use the PostgreSQL Yum Repository, follow these steps:
  57 </p>
  58 <ol>
  59   <li>Select version: <select id="version" class="custom-select"></select><br/></li>
  60   <li>Select platform: <select id="platform" class="custom-select"></select></li>
  61   <li>Select architecture: <select id="arch" class="custom-select"></select></li>
  62   <li>Copy, paste and run the relevant parts of the setup script:
  63     <div class="pg-script-container">
  64         <pre id="script-box" class="code"></pre>
  65         <button id="copy-btn" class="pg-script-copy-btn">Copy Script</button>
  66     </div>
  67   </li>
  68 </ol>

  70 <h2>Included in Distribution</h2>
  71 <p>
  72 These distributions all include PostgreSQL by default. To install
  73 PostgreSQL from these repositories, use the <var>yum</var> command on RHEL 6 and 7:
  74 </p>
  75 <p>
  76 <code>
  77 yum install postgresql-server
  78 </code>
  79 </p>
  80 <p>
  81 or <var>dnf</var> command on RHEL 8 and Fedora:
  82 </p>
  83 <p>
  84 <code>
  85 dnf install postgresql-server
  86 </code>
  87 </p>
  88 <p>
  89 Which version of PostgreSQL you get will depend on the version of
  90 the distribution:
  91 </p>
  92 <table class="table table-striped">
  93   <thead>
  94     <tr>
  95       <th>Distribution</th>

 104     <tr>
 105      <th scope="row">RHEL / Rocky Linux / OL 8</th>
 106      <td>13, 12, 10 and 9.6 via modules</td>

 112     <tr>
 113      <th scope="row">RHEL / CentOS / SL / OL 6</th>
 114      <td>8.4 (also supplies package rh-postgresql96, via SCL)</td>

 123     </tr>
 124   </tbody>
 125 </table>
 126 <p>
 127 Other Red Hat family distributions may ship a different version of
 128 PostgreSQL by default, check with your distribution vendor to be sure.
 129 </p>
 130
 131 <p>
 132 The repository contains many different packages including third party
 133 addons. The most common and important packages are (substitute the
 134 version number as required):

 157 <h3>Post-installation</h3>
 158 <p>
 159 Due to policies for Red Hat family distributions, the PostgreSQL installation
 160 will not be enabled for automatic start or have the database initialized
 161 automatically. To make your database installation complete, you need to
 162 perform the following steps, based on your distribution:
 163 <h4>For RHEL / Rocky Linux / CentOS / SL / OL 7, 8, 9 or Fedora 36 and later derived distributions:</h4>
 164 <pre class="code">
 165   postgresql-setup --initdb
 166   systemctl enable postgresql.service
 167   systemctl start postgresql.service
 168 </pre>
 169 <h4>For RHEL / CentOS / SL / OL 6</h4>
 170 <pre class="code">
 171   service postgresql initdb
 172   chkconfig postgresql on
 173 </pre>
 174 </p>
 175
 176 <h2>Direct RPM download</h2>
 177 <p>
 178 If you cannot, or do not want to, use the yum based installation method,
 179 all the RPMs that are in the yum repository are available for
 180 <a href="https://yum.postgresql.org/rpmchart/">direct download</a>
 181 and manual installation as well.
