&repmgr; RPM packages for RedHat/CentOS variants and Fedora are available from the

Currently the <ulink url="https://www.enterprisedb.com">EDB</ulink>
<ulink url="https://dl.enterprisedb.com/">public repository</ulink> provides
support for RedHat/CentOS versions 6,7 and 8.
</para>
</note>
<para>
RPM packages for &repmgr; are also available via Yum through
the PostgreSQL Global Development Group (PGDG) RPM repository
(<ulink url="https://yum.postgresql.org/">https://yum.postgresql.org/</ulink>).
Follow the instructions for your distribution (RedHat, CentOS,
Fedora, etc.) and architecture as detailed there. Note that it can take some days
for new &repmgr; packages to become available via the this repository.
</para>
<note>
<para>
&repmgr; RPM packages are designed to be compatible with the community-provided PostgreSQL packages
and EDB's PostgreSQL Extended Server (formerly 2ndQPostgres).
They may not work with vendor-specific packages such as those provided by RedHat for RHEL
customers, as the PostgreSQL filesystem layout may be different to the community RPMs.
Please contact your support vendor for assistance.

<emphasis>Compatibility with PGDG Repositories</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
The EDB &repmgr; yum repository packages use the same definitions and file system layout as the
main PGDG repository.
</para>
<para>
Normally <application>yum</application> will prioritize the repository with the most recent &repmgr; version.
Once the PGDG repository has been updated, it doesn't matter which repository
the packages are installed from.
</para>
<para>
To ensure the EDB repository is always prioritised, set the <literal>priority</literal> option
in the repository configuration file (e.g. <filename>/etc/yum.repos.d/2ndquadrant-dl-default-release-pg14.repo</filename>
accordingly.
</para>
<note>
<para>
With CentOS 7 and earlier, the package <literal>yum-plugin-priorities</literal> must be installed
to be able to set the repository priority.
