Installation Of Postgresql Using Text Mode Method on linux Example With Screenshot

II.Postgresql 9.3 - Text Mode Installation:
  • To specify that the installer should run in text mode, include the –mode text command line option when invoking the installer. Text-mode installations are useful if you need to install on a remote server using ssh tunneling (and have access to a minimal amount of bandwidth), or if you do not have access to a graphical interface.
  • In text mode, the installer uses a series of command line questions to establish the configuration parameters. Text-mode installations are valid only on Linux or Mac systems.
  • You must assume superuser privileges before performing a text-mode installation. At any point during the installation process, you can press Ctrl-C to abort the installation. 
  • To perform a text-mode installation on a Linux system, navigate to the directory that contains the installation binary file and enter:
# ./postgres-version-platform.run --mode text

After the installation, you need to set environment variables. There is a pg_env.sh file in which all environment variables are exported in /opt/PostgreSQL92(which base installation directory).

Open the bash file $vi .bash_profile   and Enter the below line:
