If the database is installed on a different machine it has probably correct version of pg dump installed  This means that you can execute pg dump command remotely with SSH     ssh username dbserver pg dump books   books out  You can also use public key authentication for passwordless execution  Steps to achieve that    Generate  if not yet done  a pair of keys with ssh-keygen command   Copy the public key to the database server  usually     ssh authorized keys  Test if the connection works with ssh command

First step  see if postgres has a repository with prebuilt binaries for the version you want for your OS  https   www postgresql org download  If that doesn t work  for instance if your distro is there but is no longer supported  so correct binaries aren t provided for it   or if you just want to go straight or the source and not have to worry about adding remote repo s  etc  What I did is download the raw source of postgres for the desired version  Untar it  cd into it  build it   configure  amp  amp  make  then  postgresql-12 3   find   -name pg dump   src bin pg dump pg dump     src bin pg dump pg dump   unable to load libpg so 5   if it says this      find   -name libpg so 5   export LD LIBRARY PATH  your path to the shared dir of above file      src bin pg dump pg dump   works now  Now you have access to any version that builds on your box   Which should be any

I encountered this while using Heroku on Ubuntu  and here s how I fixed it    Add the PostgreSQL apt repository as described at  Linux downloads  Ubuntu      There are similar pages for other operating systems   Upgrade to the latest version  9 3 for me  with    sudo apt-get install postgresql  Recreate the symbolic link in  usr bin with   sudo ln -s  usr lib postgresql 9 3 bin pg dump  usr bin pg dump --force   The version number in the  usr lib postgresql     path above should match the server version number in the error you received  So if your error says  pg dump  server version  9 9  then link to  usr lib postgresql 9 9

I had same error and this is how I solved it in my case   This means your postgresql version is 9 2 1 but you have started postgresql service of 9 1 6   If you run psql postgres you will see   psql  9 2 1  server 9 1 6   What I did to solve this problem is    brew services stop postgresql 9 1 6 brew services restart postgresql 9 2 1   Now run psql postgres and you should have  psql  9 2 1   You can also run brew services list to see the status of your postgres

An alternative answer that I don t think anyone else has covered   If you have multiple PG clusters installed  as I do   then you can view those using pg lsclusters   You should be able to see the version and cluster from the list displayed   From there  you can then do this   pg dump --cluster 9 6 main books  gt  books out   Obviously  replace the version and cluster name with the appropriate one for your circumstances from what is returned by pg lsclusters separating the version and cluster with a    This targets the specific cluster you wish to run against
