Install PostgreSQL in Linux
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 postgresql-libs postgis
Switch to the postgres user account and initialize the database cluster:
sudo -i -u postgres
initdb --locale $LANG -E UTF8 -D '/var/lib/postgres/data/'
exit
Options for initdb are as follows:
--localeis the one defined in/etc/locale.conf.-Eis the default encoding for new databases.-Dis the default location for storing the database cluster.
You can have it always running when your machine starts with:
sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql.service
Otherwise, you could start, stop or restart it
when needed with:
sudo systemctl start postgresql.service
sudo systemctl stop postgresql.service
sudo systemctl restart postgresql.service
