Find the great_expectations plugin definition in your meltano.yml project file

Update the pip_url property to include the desired additional extras and packages:

utilities:
- name: great_expectations
  variant: great-expectations
  pip_url: great_expectations[redshift] awscli

Re-install the plugin:
