  <title>Requirements</title>

  <para>
   In general, a modern Unix-compatible platform should be able to run
   <productname>PostgreSQL</>.
    The platforms that had received specific testing at the
   time of release are listed in <xref linkend="supported-platforms">
   below. In the <filename>doc</> subdirectory of the distribution
   there are several platform-specific <acronym>FAQ</> documents you
   might wish to consult if you are having trouble.
  </para>

  <para>
   The following prerequisites exist for building <productname>PostgreSQL</>:

      <acronym>GNU</> <application>make</> is required; other
      <application>make</> programs will <emphasis>not</> work.
      <acronym>GNU</> <application>make</> is often installed under
      the name <filename>gmake</filename>; this document will always
      refer to it by that name. (On some systems GNU make is the
      default tool with the name <filename>make</>.) To test for
      <acronym>GNU</acronym> <application>make</application> enter
<screen>
<userinput>gmake --version</userinput>

      It is recommended to use version 3.76.1 or later.
     </para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
     <para>
      You need an <acronym>ISO</>/<acronym>ANSI</> C compiler. Recent

      The <acronym>GNU</> <productname>Readline</> library (for
      comfortable line editing and command history retrieval) will be
      used by default.  If you don't want to use it then you must
      specify the <option>--without-readline</option> option for
      <filename>configure</>.  (On <productname>NetBSD</productname>,
      the <filename>libedit</filename> library is

      <acronym>GNU</> <application>Flex</> and <application>Bison</> are
      needed to build from scratch, but they are
      <emphasis>not</> required when building from a released source
      package because pre-generated output files are included in released
      packages. You will
      need these programs only when building from a CVS tree or if you
      changed the actual scanner and parser definition files. If
      you need them, be sure to get <application>Flex</> 2.5.4 or
      later and <application>Bison</> 1.28 or later. Other <application>yacc</>
      programs can sometimes be used, but doing so requires extra
      effort and is not recommended. Other <application>lex</> programs will
      definitely not work.

   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
   <command>df</command> command to check for disk space.

  <para>
   The internal data storage format changes with new releases of
   <productname>PostgreSQL</>. Therefore, if you are upgrading an
   existing installation that does not have a version number
   <quote>&majorversion;.x</quote>, you must back up and restore your
   data as shown here. These instructions assume that your existing
   installation is under the <filename>/usr/local/pgsql</> directory,
   and that the data area is in <filename>/usr/local/pgsql/data</>.
   Substitute your paths appropriately.
  </para>

  <procedure>
   <step>
    <para>
     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

     If you need to preserve OIDs (such as when using them as
     foreign keys), then use the <option>-o</option> option when running

    <para>
     Make sure that you use the <command>pg_dumpall</> command
     from the version you are currently running. &version;'s
     <command>pg_dumpall</> should not be used on older databases.

   <step>
    <para>
     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:
<screen>
<userinput>kill -INT `cat /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid`</>
</screen>
     Versions prior to 7.0 do not have this
     <filename>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 <userinput>ps ax | grep postmaster</>, and
     supply it to the <command>kill</> command.
    </para>

    <para>
     On systems that have <productname>PostgreSQL</> started at boot time, there is
     probably a start-up file that will accomplish the same thing. For
     example, on a <systemitem class="osname">Red Hat Linux</> system one might find that
<screen>
<userinput>/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql stop</userinput>
</screen>
     works.  Another possibility is <userinput>pg_ctl stop</>.
    </para>

   <step>
    <para>
     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 have trouble and need to revert to it.
     Use a command like this:
<screen>
<userinput>mv /usr/local/pgsql /usr/local/pgsql.old</>
</screen>
    </para>
   </step>
  </procedure>

  <para>
   After you have installed <productname>PostgreSQL</> &version;, 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).

   </indexterm>

   <para>
    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 <filename>configure</> script. For a
    default installation simply enter
<screen>
<userinput>./configure</userinput>
</screen>
    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 will create several files in the build
    tree to record what it found.
   </para>

   <para>
    The default configuration will build the server and utilities, as
    well as all client applications and interfaces that require only a
    C compiler. All files will be installed under
    <filename>/usr/local/pgsql</> by default.
   </para>

   <para>
    You can customize the build and installation process by supplying one
    or more of the following command line options to
    <filename>configure</filename>:

     <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
       <term><option>--prefix=<replaceable>PREFIX</></option></term>
       <listitem>
        <para>
         Install all files under the directory <replaceable>PREFIX</>
         instead of <filename>/usr/local/pgsql</filename>. The actual
         files will be installed into various subdirectories; no files
         will ever be installed directly into the
         <replaceable>PREFIX</> directory.
        </para>

        <para>
         If you have special needs, you can also customize the
         individual subdirectories with the following options.

        <para>
         You can install architecture-dependent files under a
         different prefix, <replaceable>EXEC-PREFIX</>, than what
         <replaceable>PREFIX</> was set to. This can be useful to
         share architecture-independent files between hosts. If you
         omit this, then <replaceable>EXEC-PREFIX</> is set equal to
         <replaceable>PREFIX</> and both architecture-dependent and

     <note>
      <para>
       Care has been taken to make it possible to install
	<productname>PostgreSQL</> 
       into shared installation locations (such as
       <filename>/usr/local/include</filename>) without interfering
       with the namespace of the rest of the system.  First, the
       string <quote><literal>/postgresql</literal></quote> is
       automatically appended to <varname>datadir</varname>,
       <varname>sysconfdir</varname>, and <varname>docdir</varname>,
       unless the fully expanded directory name already contains the
       string <quote><literal>postgres</></quote> or <quote><literal>pgsql</></quote>.  For
       example, if you choose <filename>/usr/local</filename> as
       prefix, the documentation will be installed in
       <filename>/usr/local/doc/postgresql</filename>, but if the
       prefix is <filename>/opt/postgres</filename>, then it will be
       in <filename>/opt/postgres/doc</filename>.  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
       <varname>includedir</varname> and are namespace-clean.  The
       internal header files and the server header files are installed
       into private directories under
       <varname>includedir</varname>.
       See the <citetitle>Programmer's Guide</citetitle> for
       information about how to get at the header files for each interface.
       Finally, a private subdirectory will also be created, if appropriate,
       under <varname>libdir</varname> for dynamically loadable modules.

         Set <replaceable>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.  Usually the only good reason
	 to select a non-default value is if you intend to run multiple
	 <productname>PostgreSQL</> servers on the same machine.

    <para>
     If you are upgrading an existing system and are going to install

     <xref linkend="install-upgrading"> above.
    </para>
   </note>

   <para>
    To install <productname>PostgreSQL</> enter
<screen>
<userinput>gmake install</userinput>
</screen>
    This will install files into the directories that were specified
    in <xref linkend="configure">. 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.
   </para>

   <para>
    You can use <literal>gmake install-strip</literal> instead of
    <literal>gmake install</literal> to strip the executable files and
    libraries as they are installed.  This will save some space.  If
    you built with debugging support, stripping will effectively
    remove the debugging support, so it should only be done if
    debugging is no longer needed.  <literal>install-strip</literal>
    tries to do a reasonable job saving space, but it does not have
    perfect knowledge of how to strip every unneeded byte from an
    executable file, so if you want to save all the disk space you
    possibly can, you will have to do manual work.
   </para>

   <para>
    If you built the 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
<screen>
<userinput>gmake -C src/interfaces/python install</userinput>
</screen>
    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 Python can find them, but how to 
    do that is left as an exercise.
   </para>

   <para>
    The standard installation provides 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 <productname>PostgreSQL</>
    include tree into your target include directory.  To do that, enter
<screen>
<userinput>gmake install-all-headers</userinput>
</screen>
    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.)
   </para>

   <formalpara>
    <title>Client-only installation:</title>
    <para>
     If you want to install only the client applications and
     interface libraries, then you can use these commands:
<screen>
<userinput>gmake -C src/bin install</>
<userinput>gmake -C src/include install</>
<userinput>gmake -C src/interfaces install</>
<userinput>gmake -C doc install</>
</screen>

   <para>
    To undo the installation use the command <command>gmake
    uninstall</>. However, this will not remove any created directories.
   </para>
  </step>
  </procedure>

  <para>
   After the installation you can make room by removing the built
   files from the source tree with the <command>gmake clean</>
   command. This will preserve the files made by the configure
   program, so that you can rebuild everything with <command>gmake</>
   later on. To reset the source tree to the state in which it was
   distributed, use <command>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.
  </para>

  <para>
   If you perform a build and then discover that your configure options
   were wrong, or if you change anything that configure investigates
   (for example, you install GNU <application>Readline</>), then it's
   a good idea to do <command>gmake distclean</> before reconfiguring
   and rebuilding.  Without this, your changes in configuration choices
   may not propagate everywhere they need to.

   <para>
    The method to set the shared library search path varies between
    platforms, but the most widely usable method is to set the
    environment variable <envar>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</> like so: In Bourne
    shells (<command>sh</>, <command>ksh</>, <command>bash</>, <command>zsh</>)
<programlisting>
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
</programlisting>
    or in <command>csh</> or <command>tcsh</>
<programlisting>
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/pgsql/lib
</programlisting>
    Replace <literal>/usr/local/pgsql/lib</> with whatever you set
    <option><literal>--libdir</></> to in <xref linkend="configure">.
    You should put these commands into a shell start-up file such as
    <filename>/etc/profile</> or <filename>~/.bash_profile</>.  Some
    good information about the caveats associated with this method can
    be found at <ulink

    If you installed into <filename>/usr/local/pgsql</> or some other
    location that is not searched for programs by default, you need to
    add <filename>/usr/local/pgsql/bin</> (or whatever you set
    <option><literal>--bindir</></> to in <xref linkend="configure">)
    into your <envar>PATH</>. To do this, add the following to your
    shell start-up file, such as <filename>~/.bash_profile</> (or
    <filename>/etc/profile</>, if you want it to affect every user):
<programlisting>
PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH
</programlisting>
    If you are using <command>csh</> or <command>tcsh</>, then use this command:
<programlisting>
set path = ( /usr/local/pgsql/bin $path )
</programlisting>

    To enable your system to find the <application>man</>

</programlisting>

    The environment variables <envar>PGHOST</> and <envar>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 <envar>PGHOST</>.  This
    is not required, however: the settings can be communicated via command
    line options to most client programs.

  <title>Getting Started</title>

  <para>
   The following is a quick summary of how to get <productname>PostgreSQL</> up and
   running once installed. The <citetitle>Administrator's Guide</>
   contains more information.
  </para>

  <procedure>
   <step>
    <para>
     Create a user account for the <productname>PostgreSQL</>
     server. This is the user the server will run as. For production
     use you should create a separate, unprivileged account
     (<quote>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.
<screen>
<userinput>adduser postgres</>
</screen>
    </para>
   </step>

   <step>
    <para>
     Create a database installation with the <command>initdb</>
     command. To run <command>initdb</> you must be logged in to your
     <productname>PostgreSQL</> server account. It will not work as
     root.
<screen>
root# <userinput>mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data</>
root# <userinput>chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data</>
root# <userinput>su - postgres</>
postgres$ <userinput>/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data</>
</screen>
    </para>

    <para>
     The <option>-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 <command>initdb</>, as
     illustrated here.
    </para>
   </step>

   <step>
    <para>
     The previous step should have told you how to start up the
     database server. Do so now. The command should look something
     like
<programlisting>
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
</programlisting>
     This will start the server in the foreground. To put the server
     in the background use something like
<programlisting>
nohup /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data \
    &lt;/dev/null &gt;&gt;server.log 2&gt;&amp;1 &lt;/dev/null &amp;
</programlisting>
    </para>

    <para>
     To stop a server running in the background you can type
<programlisting>
kill `cat /usr/local/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid`
</programlisting>
    </para>

    <para>
     In order to allow TCP/IP connections (rather than only Unix
     domain socket ones) you need to pass the <option>-i</> option to
     <filename>postmaster</>.
    </para>
   </step>

   <step>
    <para>
     Create a database:
<screen>
<userinput>createdb testdb</>
</screen>
     Then enter
<screen>
<userinput>psql testdb</>
</screen>
     to connect to that database. At the prompt you can enter SQL
     commands and start experimenting.
    </para>
   </step>
  </procedure>

   <itemizedlist>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      The <productname>PostgreSQL</> distribution contains a
      comprehensive documentation set, which you should read sometime.
      After installation, the documentation can be accessed by
      pointing your browser to
      <filename>/usr/local/pgsql/doc/html/index.html</>, unless you
      changed the installation directories.
     </para>

     <para>
      The <citetitle>Tutorial</> should be your first reading if you
      are completely new to <acronym>SQL</> databases.
      If you are familiar with database concepts then you want to
      proceed with the <citetitle>Administrator's Guide</citetitle>,
      which contains information about how to set up the database
      server, database users, and authentication.
     </para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
     <para>
      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 <citetitle>Administrator's
      Guide</citetitle>.
     </para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
     <para>
      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 <citetitle>Administrator's Guide</citetitle>.
     </para>
    </listitem>

   </itemizedlist>
  </para>

<!-- do we still ship this? -->
<!--
  <para>
   The documentation is also available in Postscript format. If you
   have a Postscript printer, or have your machine already set up to
   accept Postscript files using a print filter, then to print, for
   example the <citetitle>User's Guide</> simply type
<programlisting>
cd /usr/local/pgsql/doc
gunzip -c user.ps.gz | lpr
</programlisting>
   Here is how you might do it if you have <productname>Ghostscript</>
   installed on your system and are writing to a Laserjet printer.
<programlisting>
gunzip -c user.ps.gz \
    | gs -sDEVICE=laserjet -r300 -q -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- \
    | lpr
</programlisting>
   Printer setups can vary wildly from system to system. If in doubt,
   consult your manuals or your local expert.
