pg_lakehouse
This guide explains how to install the pg_lakehouse
extension inside an existing PostgreSQL database. These
instructions are for deploying on Linux Debian/Ubuntu. If you are using a different version of Linux, please
contact us.
Prerequisites
Ensure that you have superuser access to the Postgres database.
Install pg_lakehouse
ParadeDB provides prebuilt binaries for the pg_lakehouse
extension on Debian 11, Debian 12, Ubuntu 22.04 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 for Postgres 14, 15 and 16 on both amd64 (x86_64) and arm64. They can be found in GitHub Releases. If you
are using a different version of Postgres or a different operating system, you will need to build the extension from source.
Using Prebuilt Binaries
# Example for Ubuntu 22.04, don't forget replace the OS, arch and Postgres for your system
curl -L "https://github.com/paradedb/paradedb/releases/download/v0.8.6/pg_lakehouse-v0.8.6-ubuntu-22.04-amd64-pg16.deb" -o /tmp/pg_lakehouse.deb
sudo apt-get install -y /tmp/*.deb
Note: You can replace v0.8.6
with the pg_lakehouse
version you wish to install, and pg16
with the version of Postgres you are using.
Building from Source
Please follow these instructions.
Update postgresql.conf
Next, add pg_lakehouse
to shared_preload_libraries
in postgresql.conf
.
shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_lakehouse'
Reload your PostgreSQL server for these changes to take effect.
Load the Extension
Once the extension binary is installed on your system, connect to your Postgres database via your client of choice (e.g. psql
) and run the following command:
CREATE EXTENSION pg_lakehouse;
That’s it! For next steps, follow the quickstart guide.
