In this article, we will install PostgreSQL 12 On Centos 8.

We choose the versions we will install by going to the link below.

Let’s do these steps by connecting to our Centos 8 operating system.

dnf install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm

1	dnf install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm

When we run this script, we request permission for the installation and we proceed by typing y.

dnf install postgresql12

1	dnf install postgresql12

We perform server packages installation, initdb process and service Enable and Start processes.

dnf install postgresql12-server
 
/usr/pgsql-12/bin/postgresql-12-setup initdb
systemctl enable postgresql-12
systemctl start postgresql-12

dnf install postgresql12-server

/usr/pgsql-12/bin/postgresql-12-setup initdb

systemctl enable postgresql-12

systemctl start postgresql-12

Lets check the service status.

Lets connect to PostgreSQL.

su - postgres

psql
--Querying Versiyon
SELECT version();

su - postgres
