Re: trouble downloading postgres 9.4 for RHEL 6.x

I used the same link:
http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload

I chose *Version 9.5.0 Beta 1* Linux x86-64

Then, I tried 9.4 for Linux x86-64

Has anyone downloaded/installed within last 2 days? my OS is RHEL 6.5

I am using the Linux machine's firefox browser to download.

is there a way to use yum to get the same installer program that goes
through all the steps?

Please advise. thanks
