Module Installation

To install pg, run the following:

Dependencies for Native Bindings

Ubuntu

Installation of this module via apt-get requires native bindings; and compilation is required even if you do not plan to use the native interface. Thus the following command is mandatory.

To install the dependencies in Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libpq-dev build-essential

The above also appears to be sufficient. Specifically, a working installation of PostgreSQL is not required on the same machine running Node.
