Sup!
In this blog, the commands used for the installation of PostgreSQL, as described in the previous blog, will be explained.
The first one, unpack command to extract postgres, just simply works as its written.
Configure command allows many parameters to pass to it. These parameters alter the setup of postgreSQL according to the values passed in the configure command. An example is shown below.
./configure --prefix = PREFIX
This will install all the files in the PREFIX folder instead of the default one. There are many more such parameters that can be used for custom modifications. These can be found in the documentation of PostgreSQL. The link is given at the end.
The make command builds postgres on your system. Some modifications can be used such as
make world
This will build everything including the documentation and additional modules.
So that's all for now. This shall be completed in the next blog. Stay tuned and remember to check out the links below.
