Installation

Installing with pip

The easiest way to install pg4j is using pip. The name of the package on pypi.com is pg4j.

$ pip install pg4j
---> 100%
Successfully installed pg4j

One thing to note is that pg4j relies on a sqlalchemy's postgres dialect which uses the pyscopg2 driver. This means that postgresql-client tools must be installed on the machine installing pg4j.

On linux this can be achieved through the following command:

brew install postgresql

On linux this can be achieved through the following command (note apt-get may need to be replaced by the specific linux distro's package manager):

sudo apt-get install postgresql-client
