# 1.3. Getting The Source

The PostgreSQL 7.2 sources can be obtained by anonymous FTP from ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql-7.2.tar.gz. Use a mirror if possible. After you have obtained the file, unpack it:

    gunzip postgresql-7.2.tar.gz
    tar xf postgresql-7.2.tar

This will create a directory `postgresql-7.2` under the current directory with the PostgreSQL sources. Change into that directory for the rest of the installation procedure.
