Installing pgvector

pgvector is supported on the same platforms as the Postgres distribution you're using. Support for pgvector starts with Postgres 13. For details, see:

• EDB Postgres Advanced Server Product Compatibility
• PostgreSQL Product Compatibility
• EDB Postgres Extended Server Product Compatibility

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

1. Install your flavor of Postgres if not already installed. See:

• Installing PostgreSQL
• Installing EDB Postgres Advanced Server
• Installing EDB Postgres Extended Server

1. Set up the repository

   Setting up the repository is a one-time task. If you've already set up your repository, you don't need to perform this step. To set up the repository, go to EDB repositories and follow the instructions provided there.

Install the package

For SLES, CentOS, RHEL and its derivatives:

sudo <package-manager> -y install edb-<postgres><postgres_version>-pgvector0

For Debian and Ubuntu:

sudo <package-manager> -y install edb-<postgres><postgres_version>-pgvector-0

• <package-manager>is the package manager used with your operating system:

  Package manager	Operating system
  dnf	RHEL 8/9 and derivatives
  yum	RHEL 7 and derivatives, CentOS 7
  zypper	SLES
  apt-get	Debian and derivatives

• <postgres> is the distribution of Postgres you're using:

  Postgres distribution	Value
