+Install postgres client libraries
+=================================

+Synapse will require the python postgres client library in order to connect to

+* If you are using the `matrix.org debian/ubuntu

+* For other pre-built packages, please consult the documentation from the

+      ~/synapse/env/bin/pip install matrix-synapse[postgres]
+
+  (substituting the path to your virtualenv for ``~/synapse/env``, if you used a
