How to build on an existing PostgreSQL server

[JamesInform]

Hi,

I already have an existing PostgreSQL 16 server build from source and running on Debian. And I don't want to run a separate PostgreSQL instance in a docker container.

How can I build the pgml extension by myself to use it inside my own existing PostgreSQL server.

Something like:

$ git clone https://github.com/postgresml/postgresml.git
$ make
$ make install

+ installing the relevant Python modules.

I tried as supposed in developer doc but get an error like that:

Hope you can assist me!

Thanks
James

There's a git submodule that you need to compile the extension. Try running git submodule update --init --recursive and let me know if that works for you!
