# 14.3. Getting The Source

The PostgreSQL 8.0.1 sources can be obtained by anonymous FTP from ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v8.0.1/postgresql-8.0.1.tar.gz. Use a mirror if possible. After you have obtained the file, unpack it:

    gunzip postgresql-8.0.1.tar.gz
    tar xf postgresql-8.0.1.tar

This will create a directory `postgresql-8.0.1` under the current directory with the PostgreSQL sources. Change into that directory for the rest of the installation procedure.
