The easiest way to install PostgreSQL in these operating systems is to use their respective built-in package managers - for instance, the <code>pkg</code> command in DragonFlyBSD or <code>apt</code> in Debian and its derivatives. Be advised that there will be different variants of PostgreSQL available for install at a given point, specially regarding version numbers and client/server side. You should decide beforehand which version suits your needs for a particular application. Furthermore, you need to make sure that you have sufficient privileges in the system to install software (properly configured sudo/doas access, for example) or your install will fail. | The easiest way to install PostgreSQL in these operating systems is to use their respective built-in package managers - for instance, the <code>pkg</code> command in DragonFlyBSD or <code>apt</code> in Debian and its derivatives.
