TimescaleDB CMake Error

[pauljsymonds]

Trying to install / Build Timescale DB. Their docs state if you install Postgres by any other method than Brew that you will receive errors and point to build from source.

Apple have clearly locked this down

There is a way though you can allow Terminal Access in Settings!

see link here also timescale/timescaledb#6474

Yes, I've discovered this previously, it was discussed in #719. We should probably document that somewhere

[jakob]

I checked and t's already documented in the docs https://postgresapp.com/documentation/install.html in the section titled "Building custom PostgreSQL extensions".

However, that page is pretty long. If you have suggestions how to make the docs more accessible, please let us know.
