Build And Run

Category: Product  ·  Sub-category: ux-research  ·  Last updated:
Build, install, initdb, and start PostgreSQL from source in the `dev/` clone for backend hacking — covers meson setup (PG ≥ 16 default) with cassert + debug flags, the autoconf ./configure fallback, ninja install, initdb + pg_ctl start / stop, PGDATA / PATH wiring, single-user mode for postmaster startup debugging, attaching gdb / lldb under the per-connection fork model, and -O0 -g3 debug builds. Use whenever a task involves compiling PG from source in dev/, running ninja install on the dev clone, initdb-ing a fresh data directory, starting or stopping the dev cluster via pg_ctl, picking between the debug profile (5432) and ASan profile (5433), or attaching a debugger to a forked backend. Skip for brew / apt / yum / Docker / k8s installation of release PG, Aurora / Cloud SQL / Supabase / Neon-managed PG provisioning, generic CMake / make / Bazel build questions, Linux-kernel builds, Node.js / Python / Go application builds, and pgAdmin / DBeaver client installation.
