I wandered around homebrew installation and error fixes and finally ended up youtube googling and made it in 2 minutes using this video! Thank you very much!

You are a godsend. I'm learning this for the first time and this is like learning Chinese as a second language

Immensely helpful, and much more simpler to set up than the homebrew version!

Thank you :) Nice and quick tutorial.Used postgres for the first time and managed to establish a server for my confluence web app from the first try. <3

Thanks for this, I've just spent a painful day trying to install postgres using brew. It's a real nightmare on a mac, I've installed it a few times on Linux with no issue, but on a mac on commandline is proper torture. This way is by far the easiest

how are you getting the suggestions in terminal, can you tell us please

[greenie]

so i botched this a bit with a homebrew install n, have tried 'starting over' (uninstalling efforts) n installing it this way and it works, except instead of initialize i just get a start/stop (server) n therefore, provides no default databases. I think its still aligning itself with my mac userprofile rather than its default of empty strings (user and password). any suggestions! :(

[nahidparvez]

Thanks for the tutorial. But I'm facing an issue, my server is running but from pgAdmin I cannot see nay server. How can I resolve it.

I don't understand which password we should type in Terminal?
