Hello again,

I haven't find any documentation describing the way to install PostgreSQL using a list of RPM packages to apply !

Best Regards.

Hello everyone,

I want to install PostgreSQL 17.6 on a machine (Redhat 9) not connect to Internet?
What are the minimum rpm packages to install ?

Nest Regards.

The core project wouldn't document that, because we just ship source
code not RPMs. There might be a README in the core postgresql RPM
package telling you what's what.

From links in https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/, I found a
link, and started exploring. https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/ is
where you want to start.
These are the directories you want:
https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/17/redhat/
https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/common/

I wrote a PowerShell script that gets a bunch of RPM files, then scp's the
new directory up to the target server. From there, it's as simple as:
sudo dnf install Pg17.6_RHEL9/*rpm

(Note: I suggest that you wait until next week, for possible bugs in the
RPMs to be shaken out.)

Hello Ruben,

I think you have understood my needs. I wanted to know which rpm packages I have to install for PostgreSQL 17.6.
The problem is that the command provided at https://stormatics.tech/blogs/offline-postgresql-installation-on-rhel-9-solving-the-no-internet-challenge : sudo
yum deplist postgresql17-server doesn’t work on Redhat 8.10 ☹

Do you have the equivalent command of yum deplist for Redhat 8.10 ?

Best Regards.

Hi,

Just read from postgres documentation:

https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/

They put a repo in end of page , where you can download.

If you do a search in google , will find another post:
