Install postgres client libraries
=================================
Synapse will require the python postgres client library in order to connect to
a postgres database.
* If you are using the `matrix.org debian/ubuntu
packages <../INSTALL.md#matrixorg-packages>`_,
the necessary libraries will already be installed.
* For other pre-built packages, please consult the documentation from the
relevant package.
* If you installed synapse `in a virtualenv
<../INSTALL.md#installing-from-source>`_, you can install the library with::
~/synapse/env/bin/pip install matrix-synapse[postgres]
(substituting the path to your virtualenv for ``~/synapse/env``, if you used a
different path). You will require the postgres development files. These are in
the ``libpq-dev`` package on Debian-derived distributions.
Set up database

This would create an appropriate database named ``synapse`` owned by the
``synapse_user`` user (which must already exist).
Set up client in Debian/Ubuntu
===========================
Postgres support depends on the postgres python connector ``psycopg2``. In the
virtual env::
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
pip install psycopg2
Set up client in RHEL/CentOs 7
==============================
Make sure you have the appropriate version of postgres-devel installed. For a
postgres 9.4, use the postgres 9.4 packages from
[here](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/YUM_Installation).
As with Debian/Ubuntu, postgres support depends on the postgres python connector
``psycopg2``. In the virtual env::
sudo yum install postgresql-devel libpqxx-devel.x86_64
export PATH=/usr/pgsql-9.4/bin/:$PATH
pip install psycopg2
