# Installing pg_stat_ch The extension is self-contained with all dependencies (including clickhouse-cpp) statically linked. No additional shared libraries are required at runtime. 1. Copy files to PostgreSQL directories: ```bash sudo cp pg_stat_ch.so $(pg_config --pkglibdir)/ sudo cp pg_stat_ch.control pg_stat_ch--*.sql $(pg_config --sharedir)/extension/ ``` 2. Add to postgresql.conf: ``` shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_stat_ch' ``` 3. Restart PostgreSQL and create extension: ```sql CREATE EXTENSION pg_stat_ch; ```
