环境：Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-431 GNU/Linux x86_64
Postgresql版本：postgresql.9.5.3
添加开启自启设置：http://my.oschina.net/ensn/blog/690719
1.下载postgresql
因bz2格式包格式比较小，故选择该格式下载。地址：https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/source/v9.5.3/
2.安装：
2.1 解压：
tar jxvf postgresql-9.5.3.tar.bz2
2.2 安装：
查看INSTALL文件说明安装过程。
[root@localhost postgresql-9.5.3]# less INSTALL
PostgreSQL Installation from Source Code This document describes the installation of PostgreSQL using the source
code distribution. (If you are installing a pre-packaged distribution,
such as an RPM or Debian package, ignore this document and read the
packager's instructions instead.)

2.2.1 编译
在编译过程中可以指定安装目录与wal日记大小等。编译过程过程中如遇其他问题（可能是依赖库的问题），解决以后重新编译即可。关于编译指定参数与编译过程中可能碰到的问题可参考该博文。

3.创建数据库集群
3.1创建用户，用以配置环境变量与初始化数据库等。
[root@localhost pgsql9.5.3]# useradd postgres
[root@localhost pgsql9.5.3]# su - postgres
[postgres@localhost ~]$
3.2 创建数据库集群
3.2.1 创建数据目录，并给postgres用户以权限
[root@localhost pgsql9.5.3]# mkdir data
[root@localhost pgsql9.5.3]# ll
总用量 20
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 6月 13 11:17 bin
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 6月 13 14:38 data
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 4096 6月 13 11:17 include
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 6月 13 11:17 lib
drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 4096 6月 13 11:17 share
[root@localhost pgsql9.5.3]# pwd
/usr/local/pgsql9.5.3
[root@localhost pgsql9.5.3]# chown -R postgres:postgres /usr/local/pgsql9.5.3/data
3.2.2 配置环境变量
在postgresql用户下配置环境变量只对postgres用户有效，如要对所有用户有效，配置profile。
[root@localhost ~]# su - postgres
[postgres@localhost ~]$ less ~/.bash_profile
# .bash_profile ... export PATH=/usr/local/pgsql9.5.3/bin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql9.5.3/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql9.5.3/data
.... [postgres@localhost ~]$ source ~/.bash_profile
[postgres@localhost ~]$
3.2.3 初始化
[root@localhost pgsql9.5.3]# mkdir data
[root@localhost pgsql9.5.3]# ll
总用量 20

drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 4096 6月 13 11:17 share
[root@localhost pgsql9.5.3]# pwd

[root@localhost pgsql9.5.3]# chown -R postgres:postgres /usr/local/pgsql9.5.3/data [root@localhost ~]# su - postgres
[postgres@localhost ~]$ echo $PGDATA

You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the option -A, or
--auth-local and --auth-host, the next time you run initdb. Success. You can now start the database server using: /usr/local/pgsql9.5.3/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql9.5.3/data -l logfile start
4. 启动数据库
4.1 配置postgresql.conf 和 pg_hba.conf。
4.2 启动数据库
[root@localhost ~]# su - postgres
[postgres@localhost data]$ pg_ctl start -D $PGDATA

[postgres@localhost data]$ LOG: redirecting log output to logging collector process

4.3 登录数据库
[root@localhost pgsql9.5.3]# su - postgres
[postgres@localhost ~]$ psql
psql (9.5.3)
