Install the PostgreSQL Database Application

The PostgreSQL database application can be installed on the same server as the application or a different server. If it is installed on a different server, the location of the database server must be provided while installing the application.

Follow the steps to install the PostgreSQL database application.

CAUTION: The PostgreSQL database application must be installed before the application.

NOTE: These steps assume you have launched the installer through the Netwrix Setup Launcher (Netwrix_Setup.exe). If you are not using the launcher, right-click on NetwrixPostgreSQL14.exe and select Run as administrator. Then skip to Step 2.
