If a recent enough version of PostgreSQL is not available through your distribution's package manager, you'll need to install it from an official [PostgreSQL repository](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt).

#### CentOS
CentOS 7 does not ship with a recent enough version of PostgreSQL, so it will need to be installed from an external repository. The instructions below show the installation of PostgreSQL 9.6, however you may opt to install a more recent version.
PostgreSQL 9.6 and later are available natively on CentOS 8.2. If using an earlier CentOS release, you may need to [install it from an RPM](https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-7-x86_64/).
```no-highlight

CentOS users should modify the PostgreSQL configuration to accept password-based authentication by replacing `ident` with `md5` for all host entries within `/var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data/pg_hba.conf`. For example:
CentOS configures ident host-based authentication for PostgreSQL by default. Because NetBox will need to authenticate using a username and password, modify `/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf` to support MD5 authentication by changing `ident` to `md5` for the lines below:
