Installing PostgreSQL

IBM Process Mining requires PostGreSQL version 17 installed or accessed remotely. To install your own deployment of PostgreSQL, use one of the following commands depending on your operating system:

• To install the recommended PostgreSQL version on Ubuntu, you must state the explicit version during the installation. Run the following command:

wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo gpg --dearmour -o /usr/share/keyrings/postgresql.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/postgresql.gpg] https://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install postgresql-17

For more information, see PostgreSQL Ubuntu installation.

• To install the recommended PostgreSQL version on RedHat, you must state the explicit version during the installation. Run the following command:

sudo yum install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-$(. /etc/os-release; echo ${VERSION_ID} | awk '{printf"%d",$NF}')-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
sudo yum -qy module disable postgresql
sudo yum install postgresql17-server
sudo postgresql-17-setup initdb
sudo systemctl enable postgresql-17
sudo systemctl start postgresql-17

For more information, see PostgreSQL RedHat installation.
