I recently tried to install the [AI plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/enable-ai-bot/266012) and got the following error on build.

```plaintext

What action do you recommend I take to remedy this error?

I saw a few relevant posts.

This one did not have a solution

This one had a solution but seemed to be related to an older version of postgres which I don’t have.

Another that seemed related, but not completely
