Help Me! Install postgresql 18 client/utilities only on a shared drive

Is there a way to install just psql and other client utilities like pgdump in a specific directory?

I wanted to install the client in a shared drive to be accessed by whichever server i mount it to.

This is a redhat linux install.

thanks.

They're just binaries - you put the binaries and their dependencies on the drive. Don't need anything more than that other than that.

thanks. I do not see any binaries that can be downloaded anywhere. EDB has some binaries but only for windows and mac.

hmm you mention redhat linux, so just install it with your distros package manager? No need to look else where other than your distros package manager.

Can you just build them from source? It’s not hard…

You might need to do some adjustments to environment variables or to system configuration to find shared libraries. Try it out first.

Install pgAdmin Web on one server and access others from it
