Install an extension

To use an extension, install it. Run the CREATE EXTENSION command on the PostgreSQL node where you want the extension to be available.

The user should be a superuser or have the CREATE privilege on the current database to be able to run the CREATE EXTENSION command. Some extensions may require additional privileges depending on their functionality. To learn more, check the documentation for the desired extension.
