Installation Directory

Select the directory in which you wish to store your data. You may also select an existing data directory which will be re-used, provided it is compatible with the server.

Password

Enter and confirm the password to be used for the superuser account (postgres) in the database cluster. On Windows, this password is also used for the service account and must match the current password if the account already exists. You can change the superuser password independently of the service account password at any time following the installation.
