Обсуждение: Pgsql 8.2.5 Installation
Hi team, Actually, the installation of the PGSQL is done by root user only. Can it be done with a normal user login? Does the user require any extra permission from server side or DB side?

If you are using a package manager of some kind, then it is likely that the package management system would require root access, or something like it. OTOH, if you're installing from source then you don't need root access, as long as you install it to directories that you, as a user, have access to.
