Installing pg_textsearch

pg_textsearch is supported for Postgres 17 and 18 only, across all three Postgres distributions. For platform and version compatibility details, see:

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

Install Postgres. See:
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.

Installing the package

The syntax for the package install command is:

# For SLES, CentOS, RHEL and its derivatives
sudo <package-manager> -y install edb-<postgres><postgres_version>-pg-textsearch

# For Debian and Ubuntu
sudo apt-get -y install edb-<postgres><postgres_version>-pg-textsearch

Where:

<package-manager> is the package manager used with your operating system:
Package manager Operating system
dnf RHEL 8/9 and derivatives
zypper SLES
apt-get Debian and derivatives
<postgres> is the distribution of Postgres you're using:
