Version pinning and listing available versions

Use the commands below to discover available versions before pinning. Replace <VERSION> with the version string shown by the list command (e.g. 0.111-0 for APT, 0.111.0-1.el9 for RPM).

APT — list then pin

apt-cache madison postgresql-16-documentdb

sudo apt install postgresql-16-documentdb=<VERSION>

RPM — list then pin

dnf --showduplicates list postgresql16-documentdb

sudo dnf install postgresql16-documentdb-<VERSION>

See all releases and release notes on GitHub Releases.

Direct package downloads

Individual .deb and .rpm files are attached to each release on GitHub. Recent release examples:

3. Connect and try it

Docker starts a gateway-backed local endpoint on port 10260. Linux packages install the PostgreSQL extension; the Linux package guide adds the extra source-gateway steps needed when you want a host install that still exposes a MongoDB-compatible endpoint.
