This package contains the linux-ia32 Postgres binaries for use with the embedded-postgres package. See embedded-postgres for a more developer-friendly way of spawning PostgresQL clusters.

Installation

embedded-postgres is available from NPM:

npm i embedded-postgres

Using just the binaries

If you just want to use the binaries, you can also just use this package directly. It exports the paths to the pg_ctl, initdb and postgres binaries for linux-ia32.

npm i @embedded-postgres/linux-ia32

Follow the documentation to discover how to interface with the binaries. Any implementation is going to look something like this:

import { pg_ctl, initdb, postgres } from '@embedded-postgres/linux-ia32'
import { execSync, spawn } from 'child_process';

execSync(initdb);
spawn(postgres);

[!IMPORTANT]
A more friendly wrapper for using these binaries is provided as the embedded-postgres package. Please use it if you're confused by the binaries.
