Hi, I want to install Postgresql on NetBSD. I followed this guide [htt
ps://wiki.netbsd.org/pkgsrc/how\_to\_install\_a\_postgresql\_server/#i
ndex1h1](https://wiki.netbsd.org/pkgsrc/how_to_install_a_postgresql_se
rver/#index1h1) and I ran

export PKG\_PATH="[https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$
](http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/$)(uname
-m)/$(uname -r)/All/"

and then

pkg\_add postgresql92-server

but I got the following error.

thanks for your help

>pkg\_add: no pkg found for 'postgresql92-server', sorry.

Why not look at the listing of the directory contents?

[http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/8.0/All/](http
://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/8.0/All/)

You'll discover that there is no postgresql92-server. Your options
are:

* postgresql93-server
* postgresql94-server
* postgresql95-server
* postgresql96-server
* postgresql10-server

Have you tried using pkgin?

Exactly correct. 9.2 was released in 2012 and EOL’d last year. OP
should seriously consider Postgres 10 unless they have a good reason
not to!
