Installing AIDB v7

AIDB is a standalone PostgreSQL extension — it installs directly on your Postgres instance with no dependency on Agent Factory or Hybrid Manager. The steps below walk you through installing it as a standalone package.

AIDB is supported on the same platforms as the Postgres distribution you're using. For details, see:

• PostgreSQL product compatibility

• EDB Postgres Advanced Server product compatibility

• EDB Postgres Extended Server product compatibility

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

1. Set up the repository:

   Setting up the repository is a one-time task. If you've already set up your repository, you don't need to perform this step.

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

2. Install your flavor of Postgres if not already installed. See:

   • Installing PostgreSQL

   • Installing EDB Postgres Advanced Server

   • Installing EDB Postgres Extended Server

3. Install the pgvector extension:

   AIDB relies on the pgvector extension for vector data management.

   For installation instructions, see Installing pgvector.

Install the package

The syntax for the package install command is:

# For Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install edb-<postgres><postgres_version>-aidb

# For Linux:
sudo dnf install edb-<postgres><postgres_version>-aidb

Where:

• <postgres> is the distribution of Postgres you're using:

  Postgres distribution	Value
  PostgreSQL	pg
  EDB Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS)	as
  EDB Postgres Extended	pgextended

• <postgres_version> is the version of Postgres you're using.

For example, to install AIDB for EDB Postgres Advanced Server 17 on Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install edb-as17-aidb

For example, to install AIDB for PostgreSQL 16 on RHEL8:

sudo dnf install edb-pg16-aidb

After installing the AIDB package, see Configuring AIDB for the next steps.
