Can't install the extension

[avaisman]

Hi, I am trying to use flock, but when I ask INSTALL flock FROM community;, I get Failed to download extension "flock" at URL "http://community-extensions.duckdb.org/v1.3.2/osx_arm64/flock.duckdb_extension.gz" (HTTP 404).

Can you tell me what's the problem here?

Thanks in advance
Alejandro

Hi @avaisman,

You are not finding Flock under that name because it used to be called FlockMTL. We recently renamed it to Flock.

If you need to install it for DuckDB v1.3.2, you can still use this link:
"http://community-extensions.duckdb.org/v1.3.2/osx_arm64/flockmtl.duckdb_extension.gz"

However, please note that v1.3.2 does not include the latest changes or bug fixes. Flock is actively maintained for DuckDB LTS releases, specifically the v1.4.x series. Using v1.3.2 is not recommended if you want the most up to date and stable version.

To get the latest version of Flock, upgrade to DuckDB v1.4.x and then run:

INSTALL flock FROM community;
LOAD flock;

This will give you the most recent updates and fixes.
