Installing PostgreSQL 13 beta/RC on RHEL/CentOS/Fedora

First, please download repo rpm from here, if you have not downloaded already:

https://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages.php.

Since PostgreSQL13 is not stable yet, we distribute the RPMs via the "testing" repo. To enable the repo, please edit the repo file and enable v13 testing repo.

RHEL/CentOS: /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-redhat-all.repo

Fedora: /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-fedora-all.repo

Please find

[pgdg13-updates-testing]

and set

enabled=1

Due to a packaging issue, please remove postgresql13 packages if you installed them from daily builds:

yum -y remove postgresql13

You can now install PostgreSQL 13:

RHEL/CentOS 7:

yum -y install postgresql13-server postgresql13-contrib

RHEL 8 and Fedora:

yum -y install postgresql13-server postgresql13-contrib

Initialize the cluster:

/usr/pgsql-13/bin/postgresql-13-setup initdb

If you are running multiple versions, you may want to change the port number first, by editing

/var/lib/pgsql/13/data/postgresql.conf

Finally, start PostgreSQL 13:

systemctl enable --now postgresql-13

$ psql -c "SELECT version()"
version
