    2. Setup the hstore extension in PostgreSQL before the first ``CreateModel``
       or ``AddField`` operation by adding a migration with the
       :class:`~django.contrib.postgres.operations.HStoreExtension` operation.
       For example::

            from django.contrib.postgres.operations import HStoreExtension

            class Migration(migrations.Migration):
                ...

                operations = [
                    HStoreExtension(),
                    ...
                ]

       Creating the extension requires a database user with superuser
       privileges. If the Django database user doesn't have superuser
       privileges, you'll have to create the extension outside of Django
       migrations with a user that has the appropriate privileges. In that
       case, connect to your Django database and run the query
       ``CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS 'hstore';``

    You'll see an error like ``can't adapt type 'dict'`` if you skip the first
    step, or ``type "hstore" does not exist`` if you skip the second.
