Installing PGD CLI

Installing PGD CLI#

You can install PGD CLI on any system that can connect to the PGD cluster. To use PGD CLI, you need a user with PGD superuser privileges or equivalent. The PGD user with superuser privileges is the

bdr_superuser role and replication . An example of an equivalent user is edb_admin on an EDB

BigAnimal distributed high-availability cluster.

Installing automatically with Trusted Postgres Architect (TPA)#

By default, Trusted Postgres Architect installs and configures PGD CLI on each PGD node. If you want to install PGD CLI on any non-PGD instance in the cluster, attach the pgdcli role to that instance in Trusted Postgres Architect’s configuration file before deploying. See

Installing manually on Linux#

PGD CLI is installable from the EDB repositories, which you can access with your EDB account. PGD users and BigAnimal users, including those on a free trial, have an EDB account and access to PGD CLI.

These repositories require a token to enable downloads from them. To obtain your token, log in to EDB Repos 2.0 . If this is your first time visiting the EDB Repos 2.0 page, you must select Request Access to generate your token. Once a generated token is available, select the Copy icon to copy it to your clipboard, or select the eye icon to view it.

Once you have the token, execute the command shown for your operating system, substituting your token for <your-token> .

Add repository and install PGD CLI on Debian or Ubuntu#

curl -1sLf https://downloads.enterprisedb.com/<your-token>/postgres_distributed/setup.deb.sh | sudo -E bash
sudo apt-get install edb-pgd5-cli

Add repository and install PGD CLI on RHEL, Rocky, AlmaLinux, or Oracle Linux#

  curl -1sLf https://downloads.enterprisedb.com/<your-token>/postgres_distributed/setup.rpm.sh | sudo -E bash
  sudo yum install edb-pgd5-cli
