2 17.2. Getting the Source #
4 The PostgreSQL source code for released versions can be obtained from
5 the download section of our website:
6 https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/. Download the
7 postgresql-version.tar.gz or postgresql-version.tar.bz2 file you're
8 interested in, then unpack it:
9 tar xf postgresql-version.tar.bz2
11 This will create a directory postgresql-version under the current
12 directory with the PostgreSQL sources. Change into that directory for
13 the rest of the installation procedure.
15 Alternatively, you can use the Git version control system; see
16 Section I.1 for more information.
