postgresql - MADlib apt install, how to? -

madlib complete, efficient (faster functions) , reliable mathematical library postgresql... @ official download no clues debian or ubuntu "plug-and-play installation".

checking other fonts, best (simplest) old 2013's instruction apt-get it.

... lost-script of 2014... comment "can download .rpm packages , install in ubuntu convert package .deb using alien command work".

---

question: secure , simplest way install madlib?
today (2017) @ ubuntu 16 lts , postgresql v9.6.

---

note , secondary question: debian stable , ubuntu lts popular linux distributions web-servers, .deb important distribution form... why madlab maintainers refuse see it? why not welcome .deb users?
there technical or license problems apt or converted .deb ?

edit

i have 2 types of sql servers, v9.6 stated, important postgresql v9.5.x (!sorry wayting use v9.6 in servers).

situation @ postgresql 9.5.x in ubuntu 16 lts (xenial)

• psql --version , it, select version(); shows v9.5.6.

• command pgxnclient install madlib shows

   need install postgresql-server-dev-x.y building  server-side extension or libpq-dev building client-side application. error: command returned 1: ['/usr/bin/pg_config', '--libdir']

... pg_config not config file shell tool... installed sudo apt-get install libpq-dev (ok!)

• command pgxnclient install madlib shows

madlib postgres extension. many people distribute extensions via pgxn.org, cpan or rubygems of postgres extensions. command install this:

pgxnclient install madlib 

after that, can create extension madlib in whatever database like.

note may need install dependencies first, example:

sudo apt-get install cmake postgresql-plpython-9.6 pgxnclient 

this link 2013 telling you, , looks still correct me. (note changed plpython 9.1 9.6 though.) tried installing madlib pgxn myself on postgres 9.5 + ubuntu 14.04, , worked.

as why madlib folks don't distribute .deb file: ask them, pgxn mainstream way share postgres extensions. it's having package manager programming language.
