About the Installation, Configuration, and Errors category

If you have a problem installing or configuring TimescaleDB this is a great place to look and ask. Is it an error? Is it a bug? Drop in here and ask… we’re always grateful for reproducible bug reports.

  • Try to provide the information suggested by the topic template (you’ll see this when you create a post).
  • If you are experiencing an error, can you provide any logs or other information here?
  • If you don’t get what you expected, tell us what you thought would happen as well as what actually happened!

Not sure if this the right way to post, but I don’t see a new question/post option.

New to Timescale. But looks like what I need for a Rails app. I’m familiar with Postgres (barely). On macOS 14. Using the Postgres.app (not Brew installed as it’s better for other aspects of what I’m doing).
Following Set up the TimescaleDB extension I’ve got the timescaledb extension installed, but not the timescaledb_toolkit extension. From this doc seems like it is supposed to have been installed. Following the doc, I tried in a new database, examples, and got the same result.

➜  psql -U postgres -h localhost -d example
psql (16.1)
Type "help" for help.

example=# \dx
                                                List of installed extensions
    Name     | Version |   Schema   |                                      Description
-------------+---------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 plpgsql     | 1.0     | pg_catalog | PL/pgSQL procedural language
 timescaledb | 2.13.0  | public     | Enables scalable inserts and complex queries for time-series data (Community Edition)
(2 rows)

I tried `shared_preload_libraries = ‘timescaledb, timescaledb_toolkit’ which didn’t help.
Where am I going wrong?
