# Install Postgres With uuid-ossp Using asdf
The `uuid-ossp` extension is part of `postgres-contrib` and is often included
with installs of PostgreSQL. By default, when installing PostgreSQL with
[`asdf`](https://asdf-vm.com/#/) using the
[`asdf-postgres`](https://github.com/smashedtoatoms/asdf-postgres) plugin, the
`uuid-ossp` extension is not included.
Without it I had trouble running schema migrations against a database that was
trying to create the `uuid-ossp` extension:
> postgresql uuid-ossp.control file missing in extention folder
To include `uuid-ossp` when installing Postgres with `asdf`, you'll need to
include _extra config options_.
For instance, to install Postgres 9.6.21 with `uuid-ossp` included:
```bash
$ POSTGRES_EXTRA_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--with-uuid=e2fs" asdf install postgres 9.6.21
```
There are some resources that recommend using `--with-uuid=ossp`, but that
appears to require a prerequisite install of a separate package, so I prefer
the `e2fs` option.
