Hi there, I'm trying to install pgvector on my Postgres 16 instance. Could anyone help me with that? Thanks!

Click on your database service > database > config. You can install extensions from there.

Is there a way for me to install pgvector in an existing postgres service, instead of making a new one?

It would deploy an entirely new service if I do that

Does this not show up when you scroll down in extensions?

I think you may need to upgrade to Postgres 18 in order to install/use the vector feature.

Hi, you have to redeploy, no need to update versions, just ctrl+k -> "Redeploy source image". Pgvector was only recently baked into our images.
