[RESOLVED] PostgreSQL 9.3 installation

Hi,

I'm trying to install PostgreSQL 9.3 and getting following errors:

How do i get around it?

Thank you,

Try this guide here:

Zorin is based on Ubuntu 14.04 but it is only for Desktop, not Server!

Try this.

Code:

sudo apt-get update;
sudo apt-get install -y postgresql-9.3


Hope this helps.

Thanks for all your help, tried both got errors. So i just installed mySQL.

What errors did you get?

Can you post them in here?
=D

Instailing mysql is not a solution. I found myself with this problem as well, it lies on Postgres not recognizing Zorin as an OS:

"/usr/share/postgresql-common/supported-versions: 3: /etc/os-release: OS: not found "

I solved it by replacing that file from the original on Ubuntu 14.04 distribution:

NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="14.04.1 LTS, Trusty Tahr"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"
VERSION_ID="14.04"
HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"

That way the postgresql-common package will recognize the os.

Thanks for sharing your solution enbits!
