Re: Install from Source On Windows - University of Sydney Research

okay guys I will get 8.2.13, so would running the install.pl would be
different.

I will try and see if I can compile and run as mentioned from the docs. But
would there be any script after install.pl to run the postmaster, initDB

Thanks.
