PgSmart CLI Installation

Once the minimum requirements are met, the deployment of the PostgreSYS Platform begins with the installation of PgSmart, which provides an intuitive guide for installing the other components.

PgSmart CLI is the command-line interface (CLI) for PgSmart.

It allows administrators and operators to perform installations, configurations, and monitoring of database environments quickly and automatically using terminal commands.

note

The installation packages for PgSmart (Agent and Client modules) are available at the Tecnisys Public Package Repository. To access them, use the access credentials defined during your free registration on the Tecnisys website. For more information, refer to the Installation Packages Section.
