2.2. Installing repmgr from packages

We recommend installing repmgr using the available packages for your system.
2.2.1. RedHat/CentOS/Fedora
repmgr RPM packages for RedHat/CentOS variants and Fedora are available from the 2ndQuadrant
public RPM repository; see following section for details.
RPM packages for repmgr are also available via Yum through the PostgreSQL Global Development Group
RPM repository (http://yum.postgresql.org/). Follow the instructions for your distribution (RedHat,
CentOS, Fedora, etc.) and architecture as detailed there. Note that it can take some days for new
repmgr packages to become available via the this repository.
Note: repmgr packages are designed to be compatible with the community-provided

PostgreSQL packages. They may not work with vendor-specific packages such as those
provided by RedHat for RHEL customers, as the filesystem layout may be different to the
community RPMs. Please contact your support vendor for assistance.
For more information on the package contents, including details of installation paths and relevant
service commands, see the appendix section CentOS packages.
2.2.1.1. 2ndQuadrant public RPM yum repository
Note: 2ndQuadrant previously provided a dedicated repmgr repository at

http://packages.2ndquadrant.com/repmgr/. This repository will be deprecated in a future
release as it is now replaced by the public RPM repository documented below.
Beginning with repmgr 4.0.5, 2ndQuadrant provides a dedicated yum public RPM repository for
2ndQuadrant software, including repmgr. We recommend using this for all future repmgr releases.
General instructions for using this repository can be found on its homepage. Specific instructions for
installing repmgr follow below.
Installation
• Locate the repository RPM for your PostgreSQL version from the list at:
https://rpm.2ndquadrant.com/
• Install the repository RPM for your distribution and PostgreSQL version (this enables the
2ndQuadrant repository as a source of repmgr packages).
For example, for PostgreSQL 10 on CentOS, execute:
sudo yum install https://rpm.2ndquadrant.com/site/content/2ndquadrant-repo-10-1-1.el7.noarch.rp
Verify that the repository is installed with:

sudo yum repolist
The output should contain two entries like this:
2ndquadrant-repo-10/7/x86_64 2ndQuadrant packages for PG10 for rhel 7 - x86_64

2ndquadrant-repo-10-debug/7/x86_64 2ndQuadrant packages for PG10 for rhel 7 - x86_64 - Debug
• Install the repmgr version appropriate for your PostgreSQL version (e.g. repmgr10):
$ yum install repmgr10
Compatibility with PGDG Repositories
The 2ndQuadrant repmgr yum repository packages use the same definitions and file system layout
as the main PGDG repository.
Normally yum will prioritize the repository with the most recent repmgr version. Once the PGDG
repository has been updated, it doesn't matter which repository the packages are installed from.
To ensure the 2ndQuadrant repository is always prioritised, install yum-plugin-priorities and set the
repository priorities accordingly.
Installing a specific package version
To install a specific package version, execute yum --showduplicates list for the package in
question:
[root@localhost ~]# yum --showduplicates list repmgr10

service commands, see the appendix section Debian/Ubuntu packages.
