1 (This file does not appear in release tarballs.)
3 In a release or snapshot tarball of PostgreSQL, a documentation file named
4 INSTALL will appear in this directory. However, this file is not stored in
5 git and so will not be present if you are using a git checkout.
7 If you are using a git checkout, you can view the most recent installation
9 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/installation.html
11 Users compiling from git will also need compatible versions of Bison, Flex,
12 and Perl, as discussed in the install documentation. These programs are not
13 needed when using a tarball, since the files they are needed to build are
14 already present in the tarball. (On Windows, however, you need Perl anyway.)
