17.1. Downloading and Executing the Installer
17.1.1. Installer script
Begin by copying the installer script db_installer.sh from the ISO-certified image.
You can find an ISO-certified image in your personal account
or on a physical disk.
Once the copy completes, grant execution permissions to the script:
chmod +x db_installer.sh
17.1.2. Installation
This section details the process of installing Tantor Certified from a local binary file. This method is useful when you have downloaded the Tantor Certified binary package and wish to install it directly from your local file system.
Download from ISO-certified image a
.debor.rpmfile of a package compatible with your operating system and architecture.Move this file to the directory where the previously downloaded installer script
db_installer.sh.Run the Tantor Certified installation using the installer script
db_installer.shby specifying the path to the file.debor.rpmof the package:./db_installer.sh --from-file=<path to .deb or .rpm file of a package>
For example, if you downloaded
.debpackagetantor-certified-server-15_15.2.0_amd64.debto the same directory asdb_installer.shthen the command will look like this:./db_installer.sh --from-file=./tantor-certified-server-15_15.2.0_amd64.deb
17.1.3. Post-Installation Commands
Once Tantor Certified is installed successfully, certain post-installation commands can be used for initializing and starting the database, managing the service, uninstalling, and querying the Tantor Certified version.
17.1.3.1. Initializing and starting the Database
There are two primary methods to initialize and start the database for Tantor Certified:
Using the installer script
db_installer.shwith--do-initdbFlag:./db_installer.sh --do-initdb
This approach uses the installation script provided with the Tantor Certified package. The
--do-initdbflag automates the initialization process and starts the Tantor Certified service.Using the Standard initdb Command:
su - postgres -c "/opt/tantor/db/15/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/postgresql/tantor-certified-15/data"
This method involves manually running the initdb command, typically located in the Tantor Certified bin directory. It's crucial to specify the data directory and run the command as the Tantor Certified process owner
postgres.After successfully running initdb, the PostgreSQL server can be started using the pg_ctl command or through the system's service management tools with command:
systemctl start tantor-certified-server-15
In order for the Tantor Certified service to start automatically when the operating system boots, run the command:
systemctl enable tantor-certified-server-15
17.1.3.2. Querying Tantor Certified Version
To check the installed version of Tantor Certified, you can execute a SQL command that
queries the version. As the postgres user, you can retrieve the version
information as follows:
su - postgres -c "psql -U postgres -d postgres -c \"select tantor_version()\""
17.1.3.3. Managing the Tantor Certified Service
To manage the Tantor Certified service, such as restarting after configuration changes,
use the systemctl command. For example, to restart the Tantor Certified server:
systemctl restart tantor-certified-server-15
