Install PostgreSQL 9 on Amazon Linux instance

In the previous post we spoke about how to build and configure Amazon EC2 Linux instance in terms of free tier offered by Amazon. Also we decided to use Amazon cloud platform as a staging environment where Tomcat 7 web-server will be installed. And now we are going to install PostgreSQL 9 server on the same Amazon EC2 Linux instance.

The process of installing PostgreSQL 9 could be described in several steps. After successfull installing it will be possible to connect to the database with pgAdmin tool for further configuration.
