Installing Community Modules

Once a community module is published:

uv add uqal-postgis
uqal add-module community.postgis

Then declare it on the connection that should use it:

{
  "connections": {
    "mydb": {
      "module": "standard.postgresql",
      "modules": ["standard.postgresql", "community.postgis"]
    }
  }
}
