This document describes how to install Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL from Percona repositories on RPM-based distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux and compatible derivatives. Read more about Percona repositories.
Depending on what operating system you are using, you may need to enable or disable specific modules to install Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL packages and to resolve dependencies conflicts for its specific components.
=== "CentOS 7"
Install the `epel-release` package:
```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
$ sudo yum -y install epel-release
$ sudo yum repolist
```
=== "RHEL8/Oracle Linux 8/Rocky Linux 8"
Disable the ``postgresql`` module:
```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
$ sudo dnf module disable postgresql
```
You may need to install the percona-postgresql{{pgversion}}-devel package when working with some extensions or creating programs that interface with PostgreSQL database. This package requires dependencies that are not part of the Distribution, but can be installed from the specific repositories:
=== "RHEL8"
```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
$ sudo yum --enablerepo=codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-rhui-rpms
$ sudo dnf install perl-IPC-Run -y
```
=== "Rocky Linux 8"
```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
$ sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
```
=== "Oracle Linux 8"
```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled ol8_codeready_builder
$ sudo dnf install perl-IPC-Run -y
```
=== "Rocky Linux 9"
```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
$ sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
$ sudo dnf install perl-IPC-Run -y
```
=== "Oracle Linux 9"
```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled ol9_codeready_builder
$ sudo dnf install perl-IPC-Run -y
```
To install Patroni on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and compatible derivatives, enable the epel repository
$ sudo yum install epel-releaseTo install pgpool2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and compatible derivatives, enable the codeready builder repository first to resolve dependencies conflict for pgpool2.
The following are commands for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and derivatives. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, replace the operating system version in the commands accordingly.
=== "RHEL 9"
```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms
```
=== "Rocky Linux 9"
```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
```
=== "Oracle Linux 9"
```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled ol9_codeready_builder
```

[ol9_baseos_latest]
name=Oracle Linux 9 BaseOS Latest ($basearch)
baseurl=https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL9/baseos/latest/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
[ol9_appstream]
name=Oracle Linux 9 Application Stream ($basearch)
baseurl=https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL9/appstream/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle

Some extensions require additional setup in order to use them with Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL. For more information, refer to [Enabling extensions](enable-extensions.md).
After the installation, the default database storage is not automatically initialized. To complete the installation and start Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL, initialize the database using the following command:
$ /usr/pgsql-{{pgversion}}/bin/postgresql-{{pgversion}}-setup initdbStart the PostgreSQL service:
$ sudo systemctl start postgresql-{{pgversion}}Check the Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL version:
$ psql --version??? example "Sample output"
```{.text .no-copy}
psql (PostgreSQL) {{pspgversion}} (Percona Server for PostgreSQL) {{pspgversion}}
```
Congratulations! Your Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is up and running.
