How to install PostgreSQL binaries on a different directory than the default one

[Allie Crawford <CrawfordMA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am new in postgresql and I am trying to install PostgreSQL on Linux server but instead of using the default location for the binaries I want to install them in a different directory.

I have research for a while and I cannot find any information on how to do that using the dnf utility which is what the PostgreSQL website gives me as instruction when I go the download page.

 

I have a directory called /pg01 that I want to use to install the binaries. The postgreSQL download site (https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/ ) gives me the following steps to install the binaries:

 

Steps to install postgresql 13

 

sudo dnf install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-8-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf -qy module disable postgresql
sudo dnf install -y postgresql13-server
sudo /usr/pgsql-13/bin/postgresql-13-setup initdb
sudo systemctl enable postgresql-13
sudo systemctl start postgresql-13

 

That set of instructions shown right above, installs the binaries under the /usr/pgsql-13, and what I want is to install the binaries under /pg01 instead of /usr.

My question is, what are the changes I need to do in the instructions detailed right above, so that I can get the binary installation under the /pg01 directory instead of the default /usr directory.

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can five me on this.

 

Regards,

Allie
