Add instructions for using PostgreSQL 9.5 installed via Homebrew #2832
Comments
@charles-cowart, just to confirm, this issue is to add this line somewhere in the documentation, right? |
I would work more from https://medium.com/@Umesh_Kafle/postgresql-and-postgis-installation-in-mac-os-87fa98a6814d as an example, just because (if you haven't done it before), starting up with pg_ctrl, initializing a database with initdb, and set the service to start on boot w/launchd (brew services start postgresql) are also important. |
Happy to do this, if you need. |
Got it, the current instructions suggest using Postgres.app, which does all that for you for free! Anyway, what about just linking that document? |
The blog post? That doesn't sound like a good idea. I can add a few lines, it's no trouble. |
Yup, the blog post. Anyway, assigning to you and if you use those instructions are a reference, please don't forget to cite ... |
We currently have detailed instructions for the Postgres.app, which works just fine. If a dev wants to install using any other methods: installing from source, homebrew, apt-get, etc, it's because that's what they normally use so the need for detailed instructions on those other methods is not required; and perhaps impossible to cover them all. However, we welcome any improvements to the documentation so if you want to add it, please do so! Thank you @charles-cowart. |
To support a commonly used method to install PostgreSQL on MacOSX.
