Domanda
I just want to know how to install the module pg_tgrm
as used in the trigram indexing scheme that allows you to do un-anchored search patterns on an index.
WHERE foo LIKE '%bar%';
Soluzione
pg_trgm
is an extension, so:
CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;
If you get the following error
ERROR: could not open extension control file ".../extension/pg_trgm.control":
No such file or directory"
then you need to install the module for your operating system
Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install postgresql-contrib
Redhat/Centos
sudo dnf install postgresql10-contrib
Fedora
sudo dnf install postgresql-contrib

1) Log into postgres
psql -U <DB_USERNAME>
2) After you are connected, switch to the DB you want to install the extension for:
\c <DB_NAME>
3) Then install the extension as answered previously:
CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;
Installing the extension initially gave me issues because I was not doing step 2. I thought the installation was a global thing but it seems its per DB
To complete the answer of @Jendrusk for :
- CentOs system you can also use
yum install postgresql-contrib
