I did it for 3 times and i always forget the correct way. In case that always that i started installing postgres8.1 on CentOS 5.5, i have got in trouble, anyway, this guide is to remember me

This post will be an express "how to" guide, to install the PostgreSQL on CentOS 5.5.

  • First of all, you should install the postgres libs:

    sudo yum install postgresql84-server postgresql84-devel

  • After installation concluded, initialize the cluster database:

    $ /etc/init.d/postgresql initdb

  • Now start the postres service: $ /etc/init.d/postgresql start

  • And now grab a beer and be happy logged on console:

    $ psql -U postgres

Cheers, bro!
