Installation from Binaries {#install-binaries}
==========================

installation

binaries

PostgreSQL is available in the form of binary packages for most common
operating systems today. When available, this is the recommended way to
install PostgreSQL for users of the system. Building from source (see
[???](#installation)) is only recommended for people developing
PostgreSQL or extensions.

For an updated list of platforms providing binary packages, please visit
the download section on the PostgreSQL website at
[](https://www.postgresql.org/download/) and follow the instructions for
the specific platform.
