• C library (libpq) and embedded C processor (ecpg)
• Several server-side procedural languages (e.g. plpgsql, pltcl, plperl)
• Several popular add-on packages (e.g. metaphone, pgcrypto and other useful enhancements)

In addition, some 'one click' installers include additional packages such as pgAdmin and PostGIS.

Live CDs/Software appliances

Live CDs are bootable CD images that allow you to run and play with PostgreSQL and a selection of related tools and software, without installing anything on your PC. Software appliances are similarly pre-configured, but are designed to run in a virtual machine or be installed onto real hardware. Note that as complete operating systems, these distributions may not be updated immediately when new versions of PostgreSQL are released.
