Installing PGD CLI on Linux#

PGD CLI is available for most Linux distributions. You can install it from the EDB repositories, which you can access with your EDB account. PGD users and EDB Cloud Service users, including those on a free trial, have an EDB account and access to PGD CLI.

Obtain your EDB subscription token#

To install the PGD CLI, you will need an EDB Repos 2.0 token to gain access to the EDB private software repositories. For instructions on obtaining this token, see: Get your token .

Set the EDB_SUBSCRIPTION_TOKEN environment variable#

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

export EDB_SUBSCRIPTION_TOKEN=<your-token>

Then run the appropriate commands for your operating system.

Debian or Ubuntu#

On Debian or Ubuntu, you can install PGD CLI using the apt package manager.

curl -1sSLf "https://downloads.enterprisedb.com/$EDB_SUBSCRIPTION_TOKEN/postgres_distributed/setup.deb.sh" | sudo -E bash

If this command returns an error like curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 , check that you entered the correct token.

When the command is successful, you’ll see output like this:

Executing the  setup script for the enterprisedb/postgres_distributed repository ...
...

You can now install the PGD CLI package using the command:

sudo apt-get install edb-pgd6-cli

RHEL, Rocky, AlmaLinux, or Oracle Linux#

On RHEL, Rocky, AlmaLinux, or Oracle Linux, you can install PGD CLI using the yum package manager. You can also use the dnf package manager, which is the default package manager for RHEL 8 and later.

curl -1sSLf "https://downloads.enterprisedb.com/$EDB_SUBSCRIPTION_TOKEN/postgres_distributed/setup.rpm.sh" | sudo -E bash
