+# Quickstart guide
+
+This guide shows how to install and start Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL on Debian- and RHEL-based Linux systems. After completing this guide, you will have:
+
+- PostgreSQL running locally
+- A database named `test`
+- A table named `customers`
+- One inserted row you can query
+
+## Fast path (2-minute install)
+
+```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
+wget https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release_latest.$(lsb_release -sc)_all.deb
+sudo dpkg -i percona-release_latest.$(lsb_release -sc)_all.deb
+sudo percona-release setup ppg-{{pgversion}}  
+sudo apt install percona-postgresql-{{pgversion}}
+sudo -i -u postgres psql
+```
+
+After psql starts, run the following SQL commands:
+
+```sql
+CREATE DATABASE test;
+\c test
+CREATE TABLE customers (first_name VARCHAR(50), last_name VARCHAR(50), email VARCHAR(100));
+INSERT INTO customers VALUES ('John','Doe','john.doe@example.com');
+SELECT * FROM customers;
+\q
+```
+
+For a step-by-step explanation, continue below.
+
+## Install on Debian / Ubuntu (APT) {.power-number}
+
+1. Fetch the `percona-release` package:
+
+     ```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
+     wget https://repo.percona.com/apt/percona-release_latest.$(lsb_release -sc)_all.deb
+     sudo dpkg -i percona-release_latest.$(lsb_release -sc)_all.deb
+     ```
+
+2. Enable the repository and install the package:
+
+     ```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
+     sudo percona-release setup ppg-{{pgversion}}
+     sudo apt install percona-postgresql-{{pgversion}}
+     ```
+
+    The installation process automatically initializes and starts the default database.
+
+    !!! note
+          On Debian and Ubuntu systems, the `postgresql` service may show as `active (exited)`. This is expected.
+
+3. Switch to the `postgres` user and open the psql interactive terminal:
+
+     ```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
+     sudo -i -u postgres
+     psql
+     ```
+
+4. Create a database and make a table in the database:
+
+     ```sql
+     CREATE DATABASE test;
+     \c test
+     CREATE TABLE customers (first_name VARCHAR(50), last_name VARCHAR(50), email VARCHAR(100));
+     ```
+
+5. Insert data in the customers table and query the data insertion:
+
+     ```sql
+     INSERT INTO customers (first_name, last_name, email) VALUES ('John', 'Doe', 'john.doe@example.com');
+     SELECT * FROM customers;
+     \q
+     ```
+
+Congratulations! Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL is now running and you have created your first database.
