I can't install TimeScaleDB successfully .. I read the prerequestities but I didn't understand the third step
which is : Make sure all relevant binaries are in your PATH: pg_config, cmake, MSBuild
how can I make sure ?
when i tried to install Postgsql the message error was : could not get pg_config --pkglibdir: exec: "pg_config": executable file not found in %PATH%
Please can anyone help me
You'll need to edit the the PATH environmental variable on Windows. Here's a page that describes the procedure for various versions of Windows:

In particular, you'll need to add the path to PostgreSQL's binaries to the list of places in the PATH variable. Usually this is something like C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\postgres\bin, but it will depend on your setup and you may have to find pg_config yourself via Windows Explorer first
Thank you very much :)
You mean I have to install PostgreSQL first
Yes, TimescaleDB does not automatically download that on Windows.
Thank you very much .. it works :)
Great, going to close this out :)
