Postgresql – Where do you find the citext module in postgres 9.3 on ubuntu 14.04

citextpostgresqlpostgresql-9.3Ubuntu

So I'm trying to use citext, but it appears to be MIA from ubuntu 14.04 postgres install. Where can you find this mythical beast called citext for postgresql 9.3?

project_test=> CREATE TABLE "customers_addresstype" (
project_test(>     "id" serial NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
project_test(>     "customer_id" integer NOT NULL REFERENCES "customers_customer" ("id") DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED,
project_test(>     "display" citext NOT NULL,
project_test(>     UNIQUE ("customer_id", "display")
project_test(> )
project_test-> ;
ERROR:  type "citext" does not exist
LINE 4:     "display" citext NOT NULL,
                      ^
project_test=> CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS citext WITH SCHEMA ext;
ERROR:  could not open extension control file "/usr/share/postgresql/9.3/extension/citext.control": No such file or directory


$ ls /usr/share/postgresql/9.3/extension

I don't see in the repository and locate -i citext finds nothing.

Turns out the answer was on Stack overflow. And Daniel commented on it right about the time I was installing it.

sudo apt-get install postgresql-contrib-9.3
