Installation Instructions for pglogical

The instructions below are valid for Red Hat family of operating systems (RHEL, CentOS).

These RPMs all require the PGDG PostgreSQL releases from http://yum.postgresql.org/. You cannot use them with stock PostgreSQL releases included in RHEL. If you don’t have PostgreSQL already:

• Install the appropriate PGDG repo rpm from http://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php
• Install PostgreSQL
  • v9.4: yum install postgresql94-server postgresql94-contrib
  • v9.5: yum install postgresql95-server postgresql95-contrib
  • v9.6: yum install postgresql96-server postgresql96-contrib
  • v10: yum install postgresql10-server postgresql10-contrib
  • v11: yum install postgresql11-server postgresql11-contrib
  • v12: yum install postgresql12-server postgresql12-contrib

You can install the “2ndQuadrant’s General Public” repository for your PostgreSQL version, by running the following instructions as root on the destination Linux server:

curl https://access.2ndquadrant.com/api/repository/dl/default/release/9.4/rpm | bash
curl https://access.2ndquadrant.com/api/repository/dl/default/release/9.5/rpm | bash
curl https://access.2ndquadrant.com/api/repository/dl/default/release/9.6/rpm | bash
curl https://access.2ndquadrant.com/api/repository/dl/default/release/10/rpm | bash
curl https://access.2ndquadrant.com/api/repository/dl/default/release/11/rpm | bash
curl https://access.2ndquadrant.com/api/repository/dl/default/release/12/rpm | bash

Once the repository is installed, you can proceed to pglogical for your PostgreSQL version:

• PostgreSQL 9.4: yum install postgresql94-pglogical
• PostgreSQL 9.5: yum install postgresql95-pglogical
• PostgreSQL 9.6: yum install postgresql96-pglogical
• PostgreSQL 10: yum install postgresql10-pglogical
• PostgreSQL 11: yum install postgresql11-pglogical
• PostgreSQL 12: yum install postgresql12-pglogical

Package Signing You may be prompted to accept the repository GPG key for package signing:

If so, accept the key (if it matches the above) by pressing ‘y’ then enter. (It’s signed by the 2ndQuadrant master packaging key, if you want to verify that.)

The instructions below are valid for Debian and all Linux flavors based on Debian (e.g. Ubuntu).

You can install the “2ndQuadrant’s General Public” repository by running the following instructions as root on the destination Linux server:

curl https://access.2ndquadrant.com/api/repository/dl/default/release/deb | bash

• Add the http://apt.postgresql.org/ repository. See the site for instructions.

Once pre-requisites are complete, installing pglogical is simply a matter of executing the following for your version of PostgreSQL:

• PostgreSQL 9.4: sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.4-pglogical
• PostgreSQL 9.5: sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.5-pglogical
• PostgreSQL 9.6: sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.6-pglogical
• PostgreSQL 10: sudo apt-get install postgresql-10-pglogical
• PostgreSQL 11: sudo apt-get install postgresql-11-pglogical
• PostgreSQL 12: sudo apt-get install postgresql-12-pglogical

Source code installs are the same as for any other PostgreSQL extension built using PGXS. Make sure the directory containing pg_config from the PostgreSQL release is listed in your PATH environment variable. You might have to install a -dev or -devel package for your PostgreSQL release from your package manager if you don’t have pg_config. Then run make USE_PGXS=1 to compile, and make USE_PGXS=1 install to install. You might need to use sudo for the install step. e.g. for a typical RHEL 7 install, assuming you’re using the yum.postgresql.org packages for PostgreSQL:
