The PostgreSQL 13.16 sources can be obtained from the download section of our website: https://www.postgresql.org/download/. You should get a file named postgresql-13.16.tar.gz
or postgresql-13.16.tar.bz2
. After you have obtained the file, unpack it:
gunzip postgresql-13.16.tar.gz
tar xf postgresql-13.16.tar
(Use bunzip2
instead of gunzip
if you have the .bz2
file. Also, note that most modern versions of tar
can unpack compressed archives directly, so you don't really need the separate gunzip
or bunzip2
step.) This will create a directory postgresql-13.16
under the current directory with the PostgreSQL sources. Change into that directory for the rest of the installation procedure.
You can also get the source directly from the version control repository, see Appendix I.
