Installing TimescaleDB Toolkit

In order to use functions from the TimescaleDB Toolkit, you’ll need to install it. If you are using Timescale Forge to host your database, the Toolkit is already installed.

On Timescale Cloud you may need to run CREATE EXTENSION timescaledb_toolkit; in each database that you need to use the functions with.

If you already have it installed and are updating to the latest version, run ALTER EXTENSION timescaledb_toolkit UPDATE;.

Self-hosted install

If you are hosting your own TimescaleDB database and need to install the TimescaleDB Toolkit first, follow the instructions provided at the GitHub repo to install it from source.
