Install Postgresql client driver

{{#CustomTitle:Install a PostgreSQL database client library}}

On Linux Debian (Ubuntu, Mint) :

To run a client of a PostgreSQL database you have to install an additional library.

You do this in a terminal window using the following two commands:

• sudo apt-get install postgresql-client
• sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpq.so.5.4 /usr/lib/libpq.so (adapt to the actual postgres version)

On Windows :

• In the standalone configuration, if your PostgreSQL server's version is the same as the Gestinux version (x86-32 or x86-64) then you can use the client's libraries from the PostgreSQL server’s installation directory, otherwise follow the client-server configuration method.
  • Go to <PostgreSQL server's installation directory>\bin
  • You should copy the libpq.dll, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll files to the WINDOWS directory (%windir%)
  • Then according the Gestinux version copy the libintl.dll file for x86-32 or the libintl-8.dll file for x86-64

• In the client-server configuration you need to download client’s libraries from the PostgreSQL Binaries page
  • Download an archive of PostgreSQL binaries x86-32 or x86-64 (according Gestinux version)
  • Extract all files
  • Go to <Extracted directory>\pgsql\bin
  • You should copy the libpq.dll, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll files to the WINDOWS directory (%windir%)
  • Then according the Gestinux version copy the libintl.dll file for x86-32 or the libintl-8.dll file for x86-64

Go on installation
