Supported Platforms

Known Issues

• PGInstaller binaries are linked to libreadline v6 and psql will fail to launch on platforms where this version is not available by default. Example platforms are Debian Stretch (9) and Ubuntu Bionic (18.04). Workaround for such platforms is to create a symlink from libreadline.so.7 to libreadline.so.6.
   
• The following PostGIS extensions are currently supported only on Windows.
  • postgis_sfcgal
  • address_standardizer

Support for other platforms will be added in later versions.
