From PostgreSQL wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

PostgreSQL can be installed using RPMs (binary) or SRPMs (source) managed by YUM for Linux on IBM z Systems. Instructions for installing PostgreSQL on these systems have slightly different instructions while work is being done to integrate the z Systems packages with the other systems. This is currently available for RedHat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7.

Instructions

The first step is to import the package signing public key:

RedHat Enterprise Linux 6

rpm --import http://packages.2ndquadrant.com/postgresql-z-redhat/RPM-GPG-KEY-2NDQ-RHEL6

RedHat Enterprise Linux 7

rpm --import http://packages.2ndquadrant.com/postgresql-z/RPM-GPG-KEY-2NDQ-RHEL7

Configure your YUM repository

The YUM repository can be added using the following command:

RedHat Enterprise Linux 6

PostgreSQL 10:

yum-config-manager --add-repo http://packages.2ndquadrant.com/postgresql-z/yum/10/rhel6-s390x

PostgreSQL 11:

yum-config-manager --add-repo http://packages.2ndquadrant.com/postgresql-z/yum/11/rhel6-s390x

PostgreSQL 12:

yum-config-manager --add-repo http://packages.2ndquadrant.com/postgresql-z/yum/12/rhel6-s390x

RedHat Enterprise Linux 7

PostgreSQL 10:

yum-config-manager --add-repo http://packages.2ndquadrant.com/postgresql-z/yum/10/rhel7-s390x

PostgreSQL 11:

yum-config-manager --add-repo http://packages.2ndquadrant.com/postgresql-z/yum/11/rhel7-s390x

PostgreSQL 12:

yum-config-manager --add-repo http://packages.2ndquadrant.com/postgresql-z/yum/12/rhel7-s390x
