This section describes how to install the PostgreSQL database server, after which you can create and initialize the databases and their users.
Limitations
- You must install a supported version of the database. For more information on supported versions of this database type, see System Requirements in the Planning Guide.
- SSL connections are not supported.
Pre-requisites
- The installing user must have write permissions to the directory from which the commands are executed.
- The installing user must have sudo privileges.
Select Configuration File
By default, the 
assumes that you are installing the databases in a PostgreSQL instance, which is reflected in the default platform configuration file. This configuration file is stored here:
/opt/trifacta/conf/trifacta-conf.json |
No modifications to this file are required at this time.
