I assume I do not need to say that the 9.6 version is not for anything else than testing at the moment.Īs I am only Oracle Linux 7 with my VM I downloaded the repository rpm for this version. So lets try to add to the PostgreSQL 9.6 repository. There is one repository for each supported release of PostgreSQL and most of the common RedHat based Linux distributions are listed: CentOS, Oracle Linux, RedHat, Fedora, Scientific Linux and even Amazon Linux.Ĭurrently PostgreSQL 9.6 is in active development and new features get developed and committed. Another option is to use the official yum repositories. Usually I advice to build PostgreSQL from source as it gives the most flexibility.
