Suggest edits
Note

Postgres Enterprise Manager 8.3 and later is supported on SLES.

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

  • Set up the repository

    Setting up the repository is a one-time task. If you have already set up your repository, you do not need to perform this step. To determine if your repository exists, enter this command:

    zypper lr -E | grep enterprisedb

    • To set up the EDB repository:

      1. Go to EDB repositories.

      2. Select the button that provides access to the EDB repo.

      3. Select the platform and software that you want to download.

    • To set up the PostgreSQL community repository, go to the downloads page for PostgreSQL.

      Note

      The PostgreSQL community repository is required only if you are using PostgreSQL as the backend database for PEM server.

  • Install the Postgres server. See Installing EDB Postgres Advanced Server on Linux or Installing PostgreSQL.

  • Review configuration and authentication requirements for PEM.

  • Activate the required SUSE module

    # You can use SLES 15 SP3 for PEM 8.3 and later:
sudo SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/15.3/x86_64

# You can use SLES 15 SP4 for PEM 8.6 and later:
sudo SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/15.4/x86_64

  • Refresh the metadata

    sudo zypper refresh

Install the package

sudo zypper -n install edb-pem

Initial configuration

# You can configure the PEM server using the following command:
sudo /usr/edb/pem/bin/configure-pem-server.sh

For more details, see Configuring the PEM server on Linux.

Note
  • The operating system user pem is created while installing the PEM server. The PEM server web application is a WSGI application, which runs under Apache HTTPD. The pem application data and the session is saved to this user's home directory.
