问题
I'm not a programmer and I haven´t Visual Studio installed in my PC but I need npgsql to connect Microsoft PowerBI (Power Query) to a Postgres instance.
Is there a way to install it without having to compile it? Is it necessary to do special configurations in my PC to make it work?
Thank you very much. Javier

To expand on @Shay's comment, you can use nuget if you want the latest version of Npgsql.
You don't need to install nuget.exe; you can down download the latest nuget package from http://packages.nuget.org/api/v1/package/Npgsql/
Rename the .NUPKG file as .ZIP and unzip it, and you'll find Npgsql.dll in /lib/net45.
Office.com instructions indicate you'll also need Mono.Security.dll, whcih you can download at http://packages.nuget.org/api/v1/package/Mono.Security/

It seems the Office.com instructions are slightly out of date, because the latest Npgsql GitHub releases aren't including compiled binary downloads. You can follow the Office.com instructions after downloading an older GitHub release.
(It may also work to just run the setup EXE instead of continuing with the Office.com instructions.)
