[Postgres App](http://www.postgresapp.com)

For Ubuntu
For APT installations
----------
(Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt-get install postgresql
You can install postgresql directly via the repositories provided by the linux distribution:

`apt-get install postgresql`

As an recommended alternative, you can add the postgresql repository, which is explained [in there wiki](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt).

(Example used is for PostgreSQL 9.4 on Debian 8 x64)

1. Create the repository file:

`echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list`

2. Import their key:

`apt-get install -y wget ca-certificates; wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | apt-key add -`

3. Update the package cache and install postgres:

`apt-get update; apt-get install -y postgresql-94`

4. To be safe, you can also install the contrib and the devel package to ensure everything is in the same version and not mixed with the ones provided by the distribution itself:

`apt-get install -y postgresql-contrib-9.4 postgresql-server-dev-9.4`

For Windows
