+
+Pgvector is an open-source PostgreSQL extension that enables vector similarity search directly inside a relational database. It allows you to store embeddings alongside structured data and perform nearest-neighbor searches using cosine similarity, inner product, or Euclidean distance—making it well-suited for AI, semantic search, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workloads.

+
+{{< note >}}
+**Estimated deployment time:** Pgvector should be fully installed within 5-10 minutes after the Compute Instance has finished provisioning.

+
+## Configuration Options
+
+- **Supported distributions:** Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
+- **Suggested plan:** Dedicated 16GB instance or higher for baseline development and testing with support for GPU instances.

+
+### Obtain the Credentials
+
+When deployment completes, the system automatically generates credentials to administer your Pgvector instance. These are stored in the limited user’s `.credentials` file.
+
+1. Log in to your Compute Instance using one of the methods below:
+
+    - **Lish Console**: Log in to Cloud Manager, click **Linodes**, select your instance, and click **Launch LISH Console**. Log in as `root`. To learn more, see [Using the Lish Console](/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/guides/lish/).
+    - **SSH**: Log in to your instance over SSH using the `root` user. To learn how, see [Connecting to a Remote Server Over SSH](/docs/guides/connect-to-server-over-ssh/).
+
+2. Run the following command to access the contents of the `.credentials` file:
+
+```command
+cat /home/$USERNAME/.credentials
+```
+
+## Getting Started after Deployment
+
+You can start by connecting to your PostgreSQL database
+
+```command
+psql -h localhost -U $POSTGRES_USER -d $POSTGRES_DB
+```
+The connection credentials can be found in the `.credentials` file located at `/home/$USERNAME/.credentials`.
+
+You can then define vector columns and run similarity queries directly in SQL.
+
+Pgvector works with standard PostgreSQL clients and integrates easily with popular AI frameworks and ORMs:
+
+    - **[psycopg](https://www.psycopg.org/)**: PostgreSQL adapter for Python
+    - **[SQLAlchemy](https://www.sqlalchemy.org/)**: Python ORM with pgvector support
+    - **[pgvector-node](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector-node)**: Node.js client helpers
+    - **[pgvector-go](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector-go)**: Go utilities for pgvector
+
+If you want to learn more about Pgvector, check out the [official Pgvector documentation](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector?tab=readme-ov-file#getting-started) to explore indexing strategies, performance tuning, and advanced query patterns.
