This is more secure, and saves a redirect since we no longer accept plain HTTP connections on the website. References in code comments should probably be updated too, but that doesn't seem to need back-patching, whereas this does. Also, in the 9.2 branch, remove suggestion that you can get the source code via FTP, since that service will be shut down soon.

(This file does not appear in release tarballs.)

|
|
In a release or snapshot tarball of PostgreSQL, a documentation file named
|
|
INSTALL will appear in this directory. However, this file is not stored in
|
|
git and so will not be present if you are using a git checkout.
|
|
|
|
If you are using a git checkout, you can view the most recent installation
|
|
instructions at:
|
|
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/installation.html
|
|
|
|
Users compiling from git will also need compatible versions of Bison, Flex,
|
|
and Perl, as discussed in the install documentation. These programs are not
|
|
needed when using a tarball, since the files they are needed to build are
|
|
already present in the tarball. (On Windows, however, you need Perl anyway.)
