I have installed docker-compose using the command
sudo apt install docker-compose
It installed docker-compose version 1.8.0 and build unknown
I need the latest version of docker-compose or at least a version of 1.9.0
Can anyone please let me know what approach I should take to upgrade it or uninstall and re-install the latest version.
I have checked the docker website and can see that they are recommending this to install the latest version'
sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
But before that, I have to uninstall the present version, which can be done using the command
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
but this can be used only when the installation was done using curl. I am not sure if the installation was done by curl as I have used
sudo apt install docker-compose
Please let me know what should I do now to uninstall and re-install the docker-compose.
First, remove the old version:
If installed via apt-get
sudo apt-get remove docker-compose
If installed via curl
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
If installed via pip
pip uninstall docker-compose
Then find the newest version on the release page at GitHub or by curling the API and extracting the version from the response using grep or jq (thanks to dragon788, frbl, and Saber Hayati for these improvements):
# curl + grep
VERSION=$(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | grep -Po '"tag_name": "\K.*\d')
# curl + jq
VERSION=$(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | jq .name -r)
Finally, download to your favorite $PATH-accessible location and set permissions:
DESTINATION=/usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/${VERSION}/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o $DESTINATION
sudo chmod 755 $DESTINATION
The easiest way to have a permanent and sustainable solution for the Docker Compose installation and the way to upgrade it, is to just use the package manager pip with:
pip install docker-compose
I was searching for a good solution for the ugly "how to upgrade to the latest version number"-problem, which appeared after you´ve read the official docs - and just found it occasionally - just have a look at the docker-compose pip package - it should reflect (mostly) the current number of the latest released Docker Compose version.
A package manager is always the best solution if it comes to managing software installations! So you just abstract from handling the versions on your own.
If you tried sudo apt-get remove docker-compose and get E: Unable to locate package docker-compose, try this method :
This command must return a result, in order to check it is installed here :
ls -l /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Remove the old version :
sudo rm -rf docker-compose
Download the last version (check official repo : docker/compose/releases) :
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
(replace 1.24.0 if needed)
Finally, apply executable permissions to the binary:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Check version :
docker-compose -v
If the above methods aren't working for you, then refer to this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40554985
curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.22.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" > ./docker-compose
sudo mv ./docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/docker-compose
Based on #eric-johnson's answer, I'm currently using this in a script:
#!/bin/bash
compose_version=$(curl https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | jq .name -r)
output='/usr/local/bin/docker-compose'
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$compose_version/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o $output
chmod +x $output
echo $(docker-compose --version)
it grabs the latest version from the GitHub api.
Here is another oneliner to install the latest version of docker-compose using curl and sed.
curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/`curl -fsSLI -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest | sed 's#.*tag/##g' && echo`/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Do it in three steps. (showing for apt-get installs)
Uninstall the last one. e.g. for apt-get installs
sudo apt-get remove docker-compose
Install the new one (https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
and then
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Check your version
docker-compose --version
Simple Solution to update docker-compose
This will remove the existing binary of docker-compose and install a new version.
sudo cd /usr/local/bin && sudo rm -rf docker-compose
sudo sudo curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.2.3/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x docker-compose
for the latest version visit https://github.com/docker/compose/releases and replace the latest one with v2.1.1
I was trying to install docker-compose on "Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS" but after installing it like this:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.26.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
I was getting:
-bash: /usr/local/bin/docker-compose: Permission denied
and while I was using it with sudo I was getting:
sudo: docker-compose: command not found
So here's the steps that I took and solved my problem:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.26.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/docker-compose
use this from command line: sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.22.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Write down the latest release version
Apply executable permissions to the binary:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Then test version:
$ docker-compose --version
If you installed with pip, to upgrade you can just use:
pip install --upgrade docker-compose
or as Mariyo states with pip3 explicitly:
pip3 install --upgrade docker-compose
Using latest flag in url will redirect you to the latest release of the repo
As OS name is lower case in github's filename, you should convert uname -s to lower case using sed -e 's/\(.*\)/\L\1/'.
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s|sed -e 's/\(.*\)/\L\1/')-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
On mac (also working on ubuntu):
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/<release-version>/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
NOTE: write the as here:
https://github.com/docker/compose/releases
Use,
$ sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$ docker-compose -v
Docker Engine and Docker Compose Plugin
Since Microsoft took over Docker they worked on porting docker-compose to their Docker Engine CLI plugins. For future support and updates I would recommend using docker compose plugin (Notice the missing dash) which can be install via the docker-compose-plugin package. The following instructions assume that you are using Ubuntu as Distro or any Distro thats using apt as package manager.
Installation Preparations
Update your mirrors:
sudo apt-get update
Make sure the following packages are installed:
sudo apt-get install \
ca-certificates \
curl \
gnupg \
lsb-release
After that add the official Docker GPG Key:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
And finally add the the stable repository:
echo \
"deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
Also make sure Docker Engine and other needed dependencies are installed:
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
Installation of docker compose plugin
sudo apt-get install docker-compose-plugin
Any future updates of the plugin are easily applied via apt.
For further reference take a look at the official installation instructions of Docker Engine and Docker Compose.
After a lot of looking at ways to perform this I ended up using jq, and hopefully I can expand it to handle other repos beyond Docker-Compose without too much work.
# If you have jq installed this will automatically find the latest release binary for your architecture and download it
curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest" | jq --arg PLATFORM_ARCH "$(echo `uname -s`-`uname -m`)" -r '.assets[] | select(.name | endswith($PLATFORM_ARCH)).browser_download_url' | xargs sudo curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose --url
On ubuntu desktop 18.04.2, I have the 'local' removed from the path when using the curl command to install the package and it works for me. See above answer by Kshitij.
In my case, using Windows + WSL2 with Ubuntu 20.04, was necessary only this:
sudo apt update
and then:
sudo apt upgrade
Centos/RHEL
Follow my answer below if you're using Centos7 with an x86-64 architecture. This answer is also available in my github.
Stop Your Docker Containers
I noticed other answers did not talk about stopping your docker containers/images instances before attempting to upgrade gracefully. Assumptions are inevitable but can be costly. Onward we go!
Options to update Docker-Compose
There are 2 options to upgrade docker-compose if you first downloaded and installed docker-compose using the Curl command.
Using Curl, jq package, and Github's direct URL to the docker-compose repository.
Using Curl, Sed, and Github's direct URL to the docker-compose repository.
Note: some of the commands below require "sudo" privileges.
Demonstration
The script below was saved to a file called "update_docker_compose.sh". You need to give this file executable permissions.
Like so:
chmod +x update_docker_compose.sh
"docker_docker_compose.sh" file content:
#!/bin/bash
# author: fullarray (stackoverflow user)
# Contribution shared on: stackoverflow.com
# Contribution also available on: github.com
# date: 06112022
# Stop current docker container running
docker stop containerID
# Remove current docker network running
docker rm containerID
# Remove image of target application(s)
docker image rm imageID
# Delete either dangling (unatagged images) docker containers or images or network
docker system prune -f
# This step depends on the jq package.
# Uncomment jq package installation command below if using Centos7 x86-64.
# sudo yum install jq
# Declare variable to get latest version of docker-compose from github repository
compose_version=$(curl https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | jq .name -r)
# Declare variable to target installation directory
target_install_dir='/usr/local/bin/docker-compose'
# Get OS and build (assumes Linux Centos7 and x86_64)
get_local_os_build=$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)
# Execute curl command to carry download and installation operation
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$compose_version/docker-compose-$get_local_os_build -o $target_install_dir
# Use chmod to modify permissions to target installation directory (to make it executable)
chmod +x $target_install_dir
# Print docker-compose version to terminal to verify upgrade
$(docker-compose --version)
Edit the script with variables specific to your environment
The script above has a few variables you need to edit with values specific to your docker environment. For instance, you need to replace container ID and image ID with the values that the following commands output.
docker ps
and
docker images output
Once you finalize creating the file (including the edits). Switch to the directory that contains the file. For example, if you created the file in /home/username/script/update_docker_compose.sh
cd /home/username/script
Last, run the script by executing the following
./update_docker_compose.sh
Option 2
Create a script file name "update_docker_compose.sh"
Edit the file and add the following content:
#!/bin/bash
# author: fullarray (stackoverflow user)
# Contribution shared on: stackoverflow.com
# Contribution also available on: github.com
# date: 06112022
# Stop current docker container running
docker stop containerID
# Remove current docker network running
docker rm containerID
# Remove image of target application(s)
docker image rm imageID
# Delete either dangling (unatagged images) docker containers or images or network
docker system prune -f
# Declare variable to target installation directory
target_install_dir='/usr/local/bin/docker-compose'
# Get OS and build (assumes Linux Centos7 and x86_64)
get_local_os_build=$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)
# Execute curl and sed command to carry out download and installation operation
# compose_latest_version=$(curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/`curl -fsSLI -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest | sed 's#.*tag/##g' && echo`/docker-compose-$get_local_os_build") -o $target_install_dir
# Use chmod to modify permissions to target installation directory (to make it executable)
chmod +x $target_install_dir
# Print docker-compose version to terminal to verify upgrade
$(docker-compose --version)
Edit the script with variables specific to your environment
The script above also has a few variables you need to edit with values specific to your docker environment. For instance, you need to replace container ID and image ID with the values that the following commands output.
docker ps
and
docker images output
Once you finalize creating the file (including the edits). Switch to the directory that contains the file. For example, if you created the file in /home/username/script/update_docker_compose.sh
cd /home/username/script
Last, run the script by executing the following
./update_docker_compose.sh
This is the method of installing docker compose version 2.12.x
Update debian package manager
# apt-get update
# apt-get install docker-compose-plugin
Then install the plugin manualy
DOCKER_CONFIG=${DOCKER_CONFIG:-$HOME/.docker}
mkdir -p $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins
curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.12.2/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
Give permisson of execution of file
chmod +x $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
Last test the installation
docker compose version
// Docker Composer Version v2.12.2
If you have homebrew you can also install via brew
$ brew install docker-compose
This is a good way to install on a Mac OS system
Most of these solutions are outdated or make you install old version.
To install the latest
sudo apt install jq
DOCKER_COMPOSE_VERSION=$(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest | jq .name -r)
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$DOCKER_COMPOSE_VERSION/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Well, my case was pretty weird. I am using wsl2, and Docker Desktop (Windows 11). I stop getting this error after rename the folder "docker" to "config-dev-server" and update de Dockerfile like this this:
COPY ./docker/apache/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
to
COPY ./config-dev-server/apache/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
With a newer Docker Desktop for Mac 3.3.0, you don't need to install Docker Compose as a seperate package. Docker Compose comes as a first class citizen installed with Docker by default. Check out the below CLI:
docker compose version
Docker Compose version 2.0.0-beta.1%
I want to install MarkLogic 9 on my ubuntu machine. I tried following steps from this doc
sudo apt-get install alien
sudo alien --to-deb --verbose MarkLogic-9.0-3.1.x86_64.rpm
sudo dpkg -i marklogic_4.1-6_amd64.deb
sudo /etc/init.d/MarkLogic start
But when I tried the second one I got an error like this:
iama#learner:~$ sudo alien --to-deb --verbose MarkLogic-9.0-3.1.x86_64.rpmFile "MarkLogic-9.0-3.1.x86_64.rpm" not found.
I don't know how to proceed further. I just wanted to confirm, is there any official documentation to install MarkLogic 9 in ubuntu?
The error is "File Not Found"
Make sure the rpm file exists in the current directory with read privileges with the name given.
Make sure sudo is not changing to another directory.
To be certain, use an absolute file path.
Then, test with sudo ls -l file..
I am using centos 6.9 and want to install xampp. But when I run the command on the terminal it showing error i.e. cannot execute binary file. So, How can I fix this problem and successfully install xampp ? Please help me.
chmod +x xampp-linux-x64-7.0.22-0-installer.run
./xampp-linux-x64-7.0.22-0-installer.run
after this command it showing
bash: ./xampp-linux-x64-7.0.22-0-installer.run: cannot execute binary file
You're probably running the install (binary) with a lesser privileged user. You'll have to use root user for modifying SELinux settings as such:
semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t '/<install-location>(/.*)/?'
restorecon -R -v /<install-location>/
Here's my docker-compose.yml file:
version: '3.1'
services:
a:
image: tutum/hello-world
b:
image: tutum/hello-world
secrets:
id: my_password
If I run $ docker-compose-up I get this:
Version in "./docker-compose.yml" is unsupported. You might be seeing this error because you're using the wrong Compose file version.
My docker-compose version:
$ docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.11.0, build 6de1806
What's wrong here? Shouldn't my docker-compose version support v3.1 of the docker-compose.yml specification (according to the release notes, it does) ?
You are doing everything right and it should work. But there was a bug in docker-compose 1.11.0 which not recognized file format 3.1 as valid. (3.0 works).
There is already a new release of docker-compose (1.11.1) which includes the bugfix:
Bugfixes
Fixed a bug where the 3.1 file format was not being recognized as valid by the Compose parser
So I would recommend to upgrade your docker-compose version if you want to use file format 3.1.
At the moment the safest way to upgrade docker-compose is by deleting it and reinstalling it.
rm /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Reinstall:
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.11.1/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.11.1, build 7c5d5e4
Now there isn't an error anymore on the file format. (I did not test with your .yml).
docker-compose up
Starting compose_a_1
Starting compose_b_1
I have resolved the issue by upgrading docker-compose.
Follwed below steps to upgrade docker-compose in ubuntu16.04
step1:
$which docker-compose
/usr/bin/docker-compose
step2:
$sudo rm /usr/bin/docker-compose
step3:
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.20.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/bin/docker-compose
step4:
chmod +x /usr/bin/docker-compose
If your file version is 3.7 and you get the following error:
ERROR: Version in "./config.yml" is unsupported. You might be seeing this error because you're using the wrong Compose file version. Either specify a supported version (e.g "2.2" or "3.3") and place your service definitions under the `services` key, or omit the `version` key and place your service definitions at the root of the file to use version 1.
Here is the solution:
Remove current binary sudo apt-get remove docker-compose OR sudo rm /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Download the binary sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose. You can find the current latest version here (1.29.1 as of writing).
Allow execution sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Remove old link sudo rm /usr/bin/docker-compose, make new link sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
I hope this resolves the issue.
To get the latest version of docker-compose :
sudo apt remove docker-compose
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.28.4/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/docker-compose
If using linux/ubuntu, This is maybe obvious but be careful you run as root e.g.
docker-compose -v
Gives
docker-compose version 1.8.0, build unknown
vs
sudo docker-compose -v
Gives
docker-compose version 1.17.1, build 6d101fb
Also make sure docker-compose and docker-machine are up to date as #lvthillo states
try uninstall old version and reinstall.
sudo apt remove docker-compose
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.22.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
reboot
should print out
docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.22.0, build 1719ceb
I had done docker-compose --version prior to implementing lvthillo's solution and I was still getting outdated versions showing up. It turned out I needed to flush the hash list my bash shell was holding onto. hash -r ... hope that is useful for someone else
We cant able to tell you without watching the particular error
firstly check it with by running this command
docker build .
when you got the error then search it in google
in my case it was the permission error when i tried it with sudo it worked.
Hope it will help you
As #Ivthillo said, you need to upgrade to version 1.11.1.
You should first remove the current version file
sudo rm -f ${which docker-compose}
then install 1.11.1 version
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.11.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s|sed -e 's/\(.*\)/\L\1/')-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
and give execution permission to it
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Notice: for installing latest version you can use below command
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s|sed -e 's/\(.*\)/\L\1/')-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
On osx 10.12.6 sierra
Steps for v1.22 or higher
I had a specific issue/incompatibility where I did not want to completely upgrade docker. I am stuck currently on docker 17.06.0-ce-mac18. So I merely wanted to upgrade docker-compose and nothing else.
My steps:
Identify location of docker-compose: which docker-compose
Identify docker-compose version: docker-compose --version = docker-compose version 1.14.0, build c7bdf9e
backup previous docker-compose?: mv /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/local/bin/docker-compose-bak
replace with
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.22.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
if you need to determine the latest version just check https://github.com/docker/compose/releases and replace version above with latest.
verify version: docker-compose --version = docker-compose version 1.22.0, build f46880f
I solved it by making sure my new code aligns with the rest of the code. It appears as it needs to have a certain format and if it's misaligned in regards to the rest of the code it won't see the 'Valid top-level sections for this Compose file are: version, services, networks, volumes, secrets, configs, and extensions starting with "x-".'
Try with "sudo"
sudo docker-compose up
You don't need to uninstall docker or remove anything.
If you get an error similar to the following when running docker-compose up:
Version in "./docker-compose.yml" is unsupported. You might be seeing this error because you're using the wrong Compose file version. Either specify a supported version (e.g "2.2" or "3.3")...
you can just modify the version specified in your docker-compose file
version: '3.1' # change to version '3.3'
services:
a:
image: tutum/hello-world
b:
image: tutum/hello-world
secrets:
id: my_password
and run docker-compose up again.
The issue was caused by too low version of docker-compose = 1.25.0, which is unfortunately the highest version Ubuntu supports on any of their current releases, including focal (20.04LTS), groovy (20.10) and hirsute.
Upgraded docker-compose the official docker/non-Debian-way:
$ sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.27.4/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$ which docker-compose
/usr/local/bin/docker-compose
$ docker-compose -v
docker-compose version 1.27.4, build 40524192
Reference
I am trying to dump a Postgresql database using the pg_dump tool.
$ pg_dump books > books.out
How ever i am getting this error.
pg_dump: server version: 9.2.1; pg_dump version: 9.1.6
pg_dump: aborting because of server version mismatch
The --ignore-version option is now deprecated and really would not be a a solution to my issue even if it had worked.
How can I upgrade pg_dump to resolve this issue?
Check the installed version(s) of pg_dump:
find / -name pg_dump -type f 2>/dev/null
My output was:
/usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/pg_dump
/usr/bin/pg_dump
There are two versions installed. To update pg_dump with the newer version:
sudo ln -s /usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/pg_dump /usr/bin/pg_dump --force
This will create the symlink to the newer version.
I encountered this while using Heroku on Ubuntu, and here's how I fixed it:
Add the PostgreSQL apt repository as described at "Linux downloads (Ubuntu)
". (There are similar pages for other operating systems.)
Upgrade to the latest version (9.3 for me) with:
sudo apt-get install postgresql
Recreate the symbolic link in /usr/bin with:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/pg_dump /usr/bin/pg_dump --force
The version number in the /usr/lib/postgresql/... path above should match the server version number in the error you received. So if your error says, pg_dump: server version: 9.9, then link to /usr/lib/postgresql/9.9/....
Macs have a builtin /usr/bin/pg_dump command that is used as default.
With the postgresql install you get another binary at /Library/PostgreSQL/<version>/bin/pg_dump
You can just locate pg_dump and use the full path in command
locate pg_dump
/usr/bin/pg_dump
/usr/bin/pg_dumpall
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/pg_dump
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/pg_dumpall
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/bin/pg_dump
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/bin/pg_dumpall
Now just use the path of the desired version in the command
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/bin/pg_dump books > books.out
You can either install PostgreSQL 9.2.1 in the pg_dump client machine or just copy the $PGHOME from the PostgreSQL server machine to the client machine. Note that there is no need to initdb a new cluster in the client machine.
After you have finished installing the 9.2.1 software, remember to edit some environment variables in your .bash_profile file.
If you're on Ubuntu, you might have an old version of postgresql-client installed. Based on the versions in your error message, the solution would be the following:
sudo apt-get remove postgresql-client-9.1
sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-9.2
If you have docker installed you can do something like:
$ docker run postgres:9.2 pg_dump books > books.out
That will download the Docker container with Postgres 9.2 in it, run pg_dump inside of the container, and write the output.
On Ubuntu you can simply add the most recent Apt repository and then run:
sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-11
Every time you upgrade or re install a new version of PostgreSQL, a latest version of pg_dump is installed.
There must be a PostgreSQL/bin directory somewhere on your system, under the latest version of PostgreSQL that you've installed ( 9.2.1 is latest) and try running the
pg_dump from in there.
For those running Postgres.app:
Add the following code to your .bash_profile:
export PATH=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin:$PATH
Restart terminal.
For Macs with Homebrew. I had this problem when fetching the db from Heroku. I've fixed it just running:
brew upgrade postgresql
For mac users
put to the top of .profile file.
export PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin:$PATH"
then run
. ~/.profile
An alternative answer that I don't think anyone else has covered.
If you have multiple PG clusters installed (as I do), then you can view those using pg_lsclusters.
You should be able to see the version and cluster from the list displayed.
From there, you can then do this:
pg_dump --cluster=9.6/main books > books.out
Obviously, replace the version and cluster name with the appropriate one for your circumstances from what is returned by pg_lsclusters separating the version and cluster with a /. This targets the specific cluster you wish to run against.
For me the issue was updating psql apt-get wasn't resolving newer versions, even after update. The following worked.
Ubuntu
Start with the import of the GPG key for PostgreSQL packages.
sudo apt-get install wget ca-certificates
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
Now add the repository to your system.
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ `lsb_release -cs`-pgdg main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'
Install PostgreSQL on Ubuntu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/
As explained, this is because your postgresql is in old version -> update it
For Mac via homebrew:
brew tap petere/postgresql,
brew install <formula> (eg: brew install petere/postgresql/postgresql-9.6)
Remove old postgre:
brew unlink postgresql
brew link -f postgresql-9.6
If any error happen, don't forget to read and follow brew instruction in each step.

The answer sounds silly but if you get the above error and wanna run the pg_dump for earlier version go to bin directory of postgres and type
./pg_dump servername > out.sql ./ ignores the root and looks for pg_dump in current directory
I had same error and this is how I solved it in my case.
This means your postgresql version is 9.2.1 but you have started postgresql service of 9.1.6.
If you run psql postgres you will see:
psql (9.2.1, server 9.1.6)
What I did to solve this problem is:
brew services stop postgresql#9.1.6
brew services restart postgresql#9.2.1
Now run psql postgres and you should have: psql (9.2.1)
You can also run brew services list to see the status of your postgres.
This worked for me, a collection of solutions from above and other sites. If you specified a version like postgressql-client-11 before then you need to remove that version first.
sudo apt-get remove -y postgresql-client
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ `lsb_release -cs`-pgdg main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y postgresql-client-12
I was facing the same issue. I used docker instead of upgrading pg_dump.
run following command to create a Docker container of postgres 14.2, or any other version as you like.
sudo docker run --name mac_postgres -p 5444:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -d postgres:14.2
Then take dump using following command. Note: you should change the host, port, username and password according to your actual database credentials.
sudo docker exec -it mac_postgres pg_dump --host=xxxxx0.b.db.ondigitalocean.com --port=250xx --username=doadmin --dbname=test --password > out.sql
After entering password. Your dump will be ready in out.sql file. Then you can delete the docker-container.
sudo docker stop mac_postgres
sudo docker rm mac_postgres
If you're using Heroku's Postgres.app the pg_dump (along with all the other binaries) is in /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/
so in that case it's
ln -s /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/pg_dump /usr/local/bin/pg_dump
or
ln -s /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/* /usr/local/bin/.
to just grab them all
** after install postgres version is match(9.2)
Create a symbolic link or new shortcut
**- on '/usr/bin'
syntag is = sudo ln -s [path for use] [new shortcut name]
example
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/postgresql/9.2/bin/pg_dump new_pg_dump
-- how to call : new_pg_dump -h 192.168.9.88 -U postgres database
Try that:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
If the database is installed on a different machine it has probably correct version of pg_dump installed. This means that you can execute pg_dump command remotely with SSH:
ssh username#dbserver pg_dump books > books.out
You can also use public key authentication for passwordless execution. Steps to achieve that:
Generate (if not yet done) a pair of keys with ssh-keygen command.
Copy the public key to the database server, usually ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
Test if the connection works with ssh command.
Well, I had the same issue as I have two postgress versions installed.
Just use the proper pg_dump and you don't need to change anything, in your case:
$> /usr/lib/postgresql/9.2/bin/pg_dump books > books.out
For macs, use find / -name pg_dump -type f 2>/dev/null find the location of pg_dump
For me, I have following results:
Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.5/bin/pg_dump
/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.4.5_2/bin/pg_dump
If you don't want to use sudo ln -s new_pg_dump old_pg_dump --force, just use:
Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.5/bin/pg_dump to replace with pg_dump in your terminal
For example:
Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.5/bin/pg_dump books > books.out
It works for me!
On my scenario the production version was 12, and my development version was 11, upgrading the package postgresql-client-xx was enough to solve my incident.
Reference web page : https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade postgresql-client
One interest thing to point out is that after the upgrade the previous version kept installed :
mlazo#mlazo-pc:~$ dpkg -l |grep -i postgresql-client
ii postgresql-client-11 11.8-1.pgdg18.04+1 amd64 front-end programs for PostgreSQL 11
ii postgresql-client-12 12.4-1.pgdg18.04+1 amd64 front-end programs for PostgreSQL 12
Hope my experience would be helpful to someone.
Greetings,
I had the same message, for me it was that I had to adjust the following:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pgsql-12/lib:....
export LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/pgsql-12/lib:.....
First step: see if postgres has a repository with prebuilt binaries for the version you want for your OS: https://www.postgresql.org/download/
If that doesn't work (for instance if your distro is there but is no longer supported, so correct binaries aren't provided for it), or if you just want to go straight or the source and not have to worry about adding remote repo's, etc.
What I did is download the raw source of postgres for the desired version.
Untar it, cd into it, build it ./configure && make, then:
postgresql-12.3 $ find . -name pg_dump
./src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump
$ ./src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump
unable to load libpg.so.5 # if it says this...
$ find . -name libpg.so.5
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/your/path/to/the/shared/dir/of/above/file
$ ./src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump # works now
Now you have access to any version that builds on your box. Which should be any.
Full steps tutorial
Your local version needs to match the one used by AWS on the remote server.
Unfortunately, apt-get install will lag behind the official release.
So you need to proceed the following way:
sudo apt-get remove postgresql
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
Then check your error message should be something like
pg_dump: server version: 12.3; pg_dump version: 10.16 (Ubuntu 10.16-0ubuntu0.18.04.1)
So it means you want version 12 (and not 13), for the install of the matching version by specifying the version number (without minor) during your fresh install:
sudo apt-get -y install postgresql-12
Now it works:
pg_dump -h {{endpoint}} -U {{username}} -f dump.sql {{tablename}}
NB: You get the endpoint in Connectivity & security go to https://us-east-2.console.aws.amazon.com/rds/home?region=us-east-2 and click on your DB instance
For Ubuntu 20.04 with the "official" postgresql repo, moving from pg12 to pg13, I had to do this:
sudo apt purge postgresql-12
This was very hard for me to pinpoint. I had played with a variety of these packages:
postgresql-client
postgresql-client-common
postgresql-##
postgresql-client-##
postgresql-server-dev-##
pgadmin
