The following instructions are used to set up a PostGreSQL server for use with the Theatre Manager application. Please follow the directions appropriate for the server platform you are using.

• Installation on a Macintosh
• Installation on Windows
• Postgres will run on linux and other Unix variants. You will have to install the server yourself by obtaining if from Postgres web site and follow much of the Macintosh setup steps for configuration and backups. We do not provide automatic installers, provide configuration or operational support Linux servers.

The server only needs to be set up on one machine where you want the database to reside. Theatre Manager can be set up on as many machines as you wish.

Do not install virus software on the Postgres Server except under very controlled circumstances and never allow virus scanner to scan the actual postgres database directories.

When downloading any update for Theatre Manager, please make sure your personal firewall is turned on (PCI requirement 1.4)
