You can't just follow the directions on the site, you have to do some mojo first.

Step 2. Install apt-transport-https.

sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

Step 3. Configure the repository (from Yarn installation).

echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list

Step 4. Run update again and install Yarn.

Upgrading PostgreSQL in Cloud9

I got most of this information from this blog post and this Medium post. I'm going to upgrade to version 9.5 to get the JSONB functionality.

Steps

Step 1. Figure out which version you're using.

psql --version

Use this version number for the next commands. I have 9.3.14 installed, so I'll be using 9.3 in any commands that require it.

Step 2. Stop PostgreSQL service.

sudo pg_ctlcluster 9.3 main stop

Step 3. Add apt repository to your sources.

echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/postgres.list

Step 4. Add repository key for newly added source.

sudo apt-get install wget ca-certificates

wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -

Step 5. Update and install the new package.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.5

Note: When the prompt appears asking what to do about the createcluster.conf file, select keep the local version currently installed.

Step 6. Remove the newly created empty cluster.

sudo pg_dropcluster --stop 9.5 main

Step 7. Upgrade your databases.

sudo pg_upgradecluster 9.3 main

Note: This may take a while.

Step 8. Check the clusters for giggles.

sudo pg_lsclusters

Step 9. Drop the old cluster.

sudo pg_dropcluster 9.3 main

You're good to go!
