Apache AGE Installation Process Part 1

Hi Guys!

Here's an easy installation process for environment setup of Apache AGE on MacOS.

Apache AGE adds graph database functionality to PostgreSQL, making it easy for developers to design and manipulate databases.

This blog will focus on setting up PostgreSQL for using Apache AGE.

The most suitable versions, to use with Apache AGE, of PostgreSQL are 11 & 12. So you can use anyone of these.

Download the desired version of PostgreSQL from this link.
https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/

Open up terminal or command prompt and unpack the downloaded archive using the following command.
tar xf postgresql-version.tar.bz2

This will create a new directory "postgresql-version" under the current directory with the PostgreSQL sources. Move into the new directory.

Now run the following commands in the same sequence.

./configure

make all

make check

make install

and that's it. Next part will explain and elaborate these commands and their purpose. Links for Apache AGE site and github repo are given below. Make sure to check them out.

https://github.com/apache/age

Thank You!
