16.2. Installer Options #

The installer script comes with several options to tailor the installation process to your needs. You can view all available options using command: 

./db_installer.sh --help

  • --help — displays the help message with a list of all available options.

  • --edition= — specifies the database edition. Available options are be, se, se-1c, and se-certified. The default — se.

  • --package= — set specific package. Available options are all, client, libpq5. The default — all.

  • --major-version= — determines the major version of the database, such as 16.

  • --maintenance-version= — set the maintenance version, like 16.2.0. If not specified, the installer will fetch and install the latest version.

  • --do-initdb — instructs the installer to run the initdb command with checksums after the installation completes.

  • --from-file= — install package from local file (rpm, deb). May be used with --do-initdb option.

Here's an example usage that showcases how to execute the installer with parameters initialize and start the database from local file tantor-be-server-16_16.2.0_amd64.deb: 

./db_installer.sh \
  --do-initdb \
  --from-file=./tantor-be-server-16_16.2.0_amd64.deb
