On Fedora/RedHat/CentOS or other yum based distribution: # yum install postgresql For Debian/Ubuntu or other dpkg based distribution I think it will be: # dpkg --install postgresql-client But I do not use Debian, so I can be wrong. It does not have to be the same version as the server, so don't compile it yourself.
