Introduction
As of ABRA Flexi 2025.8.0, PostgreSQL versions 13 through 17 are supported. This means you can use the versions available in the standard Ubuntu repositories directly—PostgreSQL 14 on Ubuntu 22.04 and PostgreSQL 16 on Ubuntu 24.04—and install Flexi without any additional changes.
📝 Earlier versions of ABRA Flexi supported only PostgreSQL 10 through 13 on Linux. Installing on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 therefore required adding the official PostgreSQL repository.
Installing ABRA Flexi
Install Flexi itself:
Then simply select the installation type, and you're done—the Flexi server is ready to use.
Installing a Different PostgreSQL Version
If you want to use a supported PostgreSQL version other than the one offered by your Ubuntu version (for example, PostgreSQL 17), add the official PostgreSQL repository.
On https://www.postgresql.org/, go to the Download section and select Linux – Ubuntu.
Following the manual installation instructions, create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list with the required content. Then add the repository key and update the apt repository cache.
⚠️ If you are running a distribution based on Ubuntu (e.g., Mint), you need to adjust the contents of the pgdg.list file according to the Ubuntu version the distribution is based on.
For distributions based on Ubuntu 22.04 (e.g., Mint 21):
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/postgresql-common/pgdg/apt.postgresql.org.asc] https://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt jammy-pgdg main
For distributions based on Ubuntu 24.04 (e.g., Mint 22):
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/postgresql-common/pgdg/apt.postgresql.org.asc] https://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt noble-pgdg main
The PostgreSQL repositories officially support only Ubuntu, so the file must specify the name of the pure Ubuntu release (jammy-pgdg or noble-pgdg).
Then continue with the ABRA Flexi installation as described above.
