pig is an open-source PostgreSQL (& Extension) Package Manager for mainstream (EL/Debian/Ubuntu) Linux.
Install PostgreSQL 13~17 along with 423 extensions on (amd64 / arm64) with native OS package manager
Install the pig package first, (you can also use the apt / yum or just copy the binary)
curl -fsSL https://repo.pigsty.io/pig | bashThen it's ready to use, assume you want to install the pg_duckdb extension:
$ pig repo add pigsty pgdg -u # add pgdg & pigsty repo, then update repo cache
$ pig ext install pg17 # install PostgreSQL 17 kernels with native PGDG packages
$ pig ext install pg_duckdb # install the pg_duckdb extension (for current pg17)That's it, All set! Check the advanced usage for details and the full list 420+ available extensions.
The pig util is a standalone go binary with no dependencies. You can install with the script:
curl -fsSL https://repo.pigsty.io/pig | bash # cloudflare default
curl -fsSL https://repo.pigsty.cc/pig | bash # mainland china mirrorOr just download and extract the binary, or use the apt/dnf package manager:
For Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 & Debian 12 or any compatible platforms:
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pigsty.list > /dev/null <<EOF
deb [trusted=yes] https://repo.pigsty.io/apt/infra generic main
EOF
sudo apt update; sudo apt install -y pigFor EL 8/9 and compatible platforms:
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/pigsty.repo > /dev/null <<-'EOF'

sudo yum makecache; sudo yum install -y pigFor mainland china user: consider replace the
repo.pigsty.iowithrepo.pigsty.cc
pig has self-update feature, you can update pig itself to the latest version with:
pig updateOr if you only want to update the extension catalog, you can fetch the latest catalog with:
pig ext upgradeEnvironment Status

pig build repo # init build repo (=repo set -ru)
pig build tool [mini|full|...] # init build toolset
pig build proxy [id@host:port ] # init build proxy (optional)
pig build rust [-v <pgrx_ver>] # init rustc & pgrx (0.13.1)
pig build spec # init build spec repo
pig build get [all|std|..] # get ext code tarball with prefixes
pig build dep [extname...] # install extension build deps
pig build ext [extname...] # build extensionRadical Repo Admin
The default pig repo add pigsty pgdg will add the PGDG repo and PIGSTY repo to your system.
While the following command will backup & wipe your existing repo and add all require repo to your system.
pig repo add all --ru # This will OVERWRITE all existing repo with node,pgdg,pigsty repo
pig repo set # = pig repo add all --update --removeThere's a brutal version of repo add: repo set, which will overwrite you existing repo (-ru) by default.
And you can recover you old repos at /etc/apt/backup or /etc/yum.repos.d/backup.
Install PostgreSQL
You can also install PostgreSQL kernel packages with
pig ext install pg17 # install PostgreSQL 17 kernels (all except test/devel)
pig ext install pg16-mini # install PostgreSQL 16 kernels with minimal packages
pig ext install pg15 -y # install PostgreSQL 15 kernels with auto-confirm
pig ext install pg14=14.3 # install PostgreSQL 14 kernels with an specific minor version
pig ext install pg13=13.10 # install PostgreSQL 13 kernelsYou can link the installed PostgreSQL to the system path with:
pig ext link pg17 # create /usr/pgsql soft links, and write it to /etc/profile.d/pgsql.sh
. /etc/profile.d/pgsql.sh # reload the path and take effect immediatelyYou can also use other package aliases, it will translate to corresponding package on your OS distro
and the $v will be replaced with the active or given pg version number, such as 17, 16, etc...

pig will use the default postgres installation in your active PATH,
but you can install extension for a specific installation with -v (when using the PGDG convention),
or passing any pg_config path for custom installation.
pig ext install pg_duckdb -v 16 # install the extension for pg16
pig ext install pg_duckdb -p /usr/lib/postgresql/17/bin/pg_config # specify a pg17 pg_config Install a specific Version
You can also install PostgreSQL kernel packages with:
pig ext install pgvector=0.7.0 # install pgvector 0.7.0
pig ext install pg16=16.5 # install PostgreSQL 16 with a specific minor versionBeware the APT repo may only have the latest minor version for its software (and require the full version string)
Search Extension
You can perform fuzzy search on extension name, description, and category.
$ pig ext ls olap

The pig can also be used as a cli tool for Pigsty — the battery-include free PostgreSQL RDS. Which brings HA, PITR, Monitoring, IaC, and all the extensions to your PostgreSQL cluster.
pig sty init # install pigsty to ~/pigsty
pig sty boot # install ansible and other pre-deps
pig sty conf # auto-generate pigsty.yml config file
pig sty install # run the install.yml playbookYou can use the pig sty subcommand to bootstrap pigsty on current node.
pig runs on: RHEL 8/9, Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, and Debian 12 and compatible OS
