$ sudo -H dnf install -y groonga-tokenizer-mecab
Run PostgreSQL:
$ sudo -H /usr/pgsql-18/bin/postgresql-18-setup initdb
$ sudo -H systemctl enable --now postgresql-18
Create a database:
$ sudo -u postgres -H psql --command 'CREATE DATABASE pgroonga_test'
(Normally, you should create a user for pgroonga_test database and use the user. See GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA pgroonga for details.)
Connect to the created database and execute CREATE EXTENSION pgroonga:
$ sudo -u postgres -H psql -d pgroonga_test --command 'CREATE EXTENSION pgroonga'
That's all!
