How to install Ambari 2.7.4 without using bundled postrges?

[#1]

Hello,

yum install ambari [HDP version] also installs bundled version of postgresql which is way too old.

Is there any way to install ambari server without using the bundled postgresql? Thanks.

Regards,

Amey.

@amey84   Yes.  Although yum install still provides the bundled postgres, you can choose to install it or another database separately.  During ambari-server setup you choose Y here:

Enter advanced database configuration [y/n] (n)? y
