Installation process
Setting up PostgreSQL in Manjaro Linux is very easy.
Just follow these steps and you’ll have a working installation in no time.
Install the postgresql
package:
sudo pacman -S postgresql
Then setup a password for the postgres
user with:
sudo passwd postgres
Switch to the postgres
user account and initialize the database cluster:
sudo su postgres -l # or sudo -u postgres -i
initdb --locale $LANG -E UTF8 -D '/var/lib/postgres/data/'
exit
Options for initdb
are as follows:
-
--locale
is the one defined in/etc/locale.conf
. -
-E
is the default encoding for new databases. -
-D
is the default location for storing the database cluster.
Now, start and enable the postgresql.service
:
sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql.service
That’s it!
