Re: Installing version other than the last one

No, do not install all of them. I'm especially concerned about -llvmjit,
but also -devel will pull in a lot of packages you might not need.

And don't overcomplicate things. Just download these specific files in a
directory by themselves and then do "sudo yum install *.rpm".
postgresql17-17.1-1PGDG.rhel9.x86_64.rpm
postgresql17-17.1-contrib-1PGDG.rhel9.x86_64.rpm
postgresql17-17.1-docs-1PGDG.rhel9.x86_64.rpm
postgresql17-17.1-lib-1PGDG.rhel9.x86_64.rpm
postgresql17-17.1-server-1PGDG.rhel9.x86_64.rpm

That's all, nothing more. You'll have PG 17.1 installed on your machine.
Then you can run initdb, edit config files, etc.
