It took a little bit of work and required multiple steps since pgxs is part of the postgresql13-devel package. It also
requiredupgrading LLVM and installing gcc. Note that I am running this particular postgresql13 installation in a docker

With pgxs installed I could then proceed to install temporal_tables extension using pgxn.
