On Windows, EDB provides a graphical interactive installer for Language Pack. Use Stack Builder (with PostgreSQL) or StackBuilder Plus (with EDB Postgres Advanced Server) to download the EDB installer package and then invoke the graphical installer for Language Pack. See Using Stack Builder or StackBuilder Plus.

Important

From EDB Postgres Advanced Server and PostgreSQL version 17 and later, the Language Pack is not bundled with the graphical interactive installer. You can download liPerl 5.40.X, liPython 3.12.X, and liTcl 8.6.X using the respective links.
