Prerequisites

Version 0.6.3 Updated Sep 30, 2026
  • Linux, macOS, or Windows host. Linux supports both the root privilege-dropping path and the unprivileged path; macOS and Windows support the unprivileged path.
  • Rust toolchain specified in rust-toolchain.toml for developing this crate. A project that depends on it needs Rust 1.92 or newer, the crate's rust-version. Releases before 0.6.2 declared 1.85, but no release of postgresql_embedded that this crate accepts builds on anything older than 1.92, and 0.6.1 additionally required 1.94 through a direct postgresql_archive requirement. The msrv CI job now enforces the declared version, and the change log records any later change to it.
  • Outbound network access to crates.io and the PostgreSQL binary archive.
  • System timezone database where required. On Unix-like systems, this package is usually named tzdata; Windows uses the platform timezone database.
