Thumbing through the other references to the "installation" chapter, I think we should also change the first one in runtime.sgml, which is in the material about upgrading. The other ones seem fine as-is because they are talking about choices you might make when building from source. regards, tom lane

Actually ... a one-liner fix doesn't really seem appropriate here, because almost all of "tutorial-install" is essentially talking about installation from source. Certainly the remark about not needing superuser wouldn't apply to most scenarios where you're installing from distro-provided packages. So I'm feeling like maybe we need a full rewrite of these few paragraphs, not just a link update. regards, tom lane
Wrong Installation Link
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/tutorial-install.html Description: In Chapter 1 Section 1 (Installation), the documentation is linking to Chapter 17 for installing postgresql, however that chapter is titled: "Installation from source" And the preceding Chapter states: "PostgreSQL is available in the form of binary packages for most common operating systems today. When available, this is the recommended way to install PostgreSQL for users of the system. Building from source (see Chapter 17) is only recommended for people developing PostgreSQL or extensions."
