How do I run pgvector on a Mac?
pgvector adds a vector type and similarity search (HNSW/IVFFlat indexes) to PostgreSQL — keep embeddings right next to your relational data, no separate DB. Install the extension (brew install pgvector for Homebrew Postgres, or it's bundled in many Postgres Docker images), then CREATE EXTENSION vector;. Extends the Postgres you already run.
With FrontierStack you can install or connectpgvector from its Vector Databases catalog, then monitor its health, ports and certificate alongside the rest of your stack.
Run it all from one Mac app.
FrontierStack installs, monitors and secures the whole stack — locally and across your fleet — from a single native macOS app.
