# 15.3. Getting The Source

The PostgreSQL 8.3.17 sources can be obtained by anonymous FTP from ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v8.3.17/postgresql-8.3.17.tar.gz. Other download options can be found on our website: http://www.postgresql.org/download/. After you have obtained the file, unpack it:

    gunzip postgresql-8.3.17.tar.gz
    tar xf postgresql-8.3.17.tar

This will create a directory `postgresql-8.3.17` under the current directory with the PostgreSQL sources. Change into that directory for the rest of the installation procedure.
