Terminal window
shki shadow install <archive>

install

Section titled “install”

Installs embedded PostgreSQL from a release archive you downloaded yourself, for machines that cannot reach the GitHub API: rate-limited or filtering corporate proxies, or air-gapped hosts. See Embedded PostgreSQL download fails for why that happens.

  1. Open the postgresql-binaries releases page in a browser and download the postgresql-<version>-<target>.tar.gz asset for the machine, e.g. postgresql-18.4.0-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz. The target triple is printed in the error if you pick the wrong one.

  2. Install it:

    Terminal window
    shki shadow install ~/Downloads/postgresql-18.4.0-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz

The archive is extracted into the same directory the automatic download uses (~/.theseus/postgresql/<version>/), so diff, generate, codegen, and queries find it and make no network request. Install a major version other than the default 18 with --pg-version matching it on those commands.

Re-running install for a version that is already present is a no-op.
