Simple question, but no resources found about this. Is there any way to install only a PostgreSQL client, the terminal-based one, psql
, on a CentOS7 system, without installing the complete PostgreSQL server? There is no dedicated postgresql-client
or postgresql94-client
or anything similar on the repositories.

I think the naming convention might simply be backwards from what you expect there: there's a package
and a package
(and
postgresql
does not have a dependency onpostgresql-server
, at least not in CentOS 6, though they both depend on a commonpostgresql-libs
package).
