Installing EDB Pgpool-II on AlmaLinux 8 or Rocky Linux 8 x86_64 v4

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

  • Install EDB Postgres Advanced Server on the same host. See Installing EDB Postgres Advanced Server.

  • Set up the repository

    Setting up the repository is a one-time task. If you have already set up your repository, you do not need to perform this step.

    To set up the repository, go to EDB repositories and follow the instructions provided there.

  • Address other prerequisites

    # Install the EPEL repository:
    sudo dnf -y install epel-release
    #  Enable additional repositories to resolve dependencies:
    sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

Install the package

sudo dnf -y install edb-pgpool<xx>

Where <xx> is the version of EDB PgPool-II you are installing. For example, if you are installing version 4.3, the package name would be edb-pgpool43.
