Hi @sunnyAgno ,
Can you please trying running the below script instead. There is a ‘-’ missing before name in the command you are using.

docker run -d \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=ai \
  -e POSTGRES_USER=ai \
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=ai \
  -e PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata \
  -v pgvolume:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
  -p 5532:5432 \
  --name pgvector \
  agnohq/pgvector:16

You also find the corrected script here.

Thank you @monalisha , I believe to execute these statements, I need to install local Docker desktop correct?

Hi @sunnyAgno you are right , you will need to have docker desktop running , to run the above command.
