    We recommend that you install Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL from Percona repositories using the package manager of your operating system. Find the list of supported Linux distributions on the Percona Software and Platform Lifecycle page page.

    Installing Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL from Percona repositories means to subscribe to these repositories. Percona provides the percona-release repository management tool for this purpose. It simplifies operating repositories and enables to install and update both Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL packages and required dependencies smoothly.

    Package contents¶

    In addition to individual packages for its components, Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL also includes two meta-packages: percona-ppg-server and percona-ppg-server-ha.
