Re: PGXN installation failure for Postgres Image of PostgreSQL 12 and 13 versions. - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi Laurenz,

Thank you for kind attention and acknowledging.

We are using installation steps from the PGXN website https://pgxn.org/dist/temporal_tables/ 

After login in to docker (docker images is postgres:13.5), we are executing these installation steps:
> apt-get install pip; sudo pip install pgxnclient; pgxn install temporal_tables

Error:

pgxn install temporal_tables

also tried a second way after cloning the repo executed below cmds but getting the same error like above

Thanks.

It may well be that the extension has a problem.

You should quote the exact error messages, otherwise it is hard to say
what is the matter.
