A package manager is a command line tool that allows you to install and manage software. You can use a package manager to install all of the software listed here.
The package manager that we'll be using for this guide is called Homebrew. It's a command-line installer for MacOS, which means that you'll have to be running a macOS in order to use. The examples provided here are utilizing macvscodeOS Catalina version 10.15.5.
Open your terminal and run /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Then run brew.
The result should look like the following:
With Homebrew installed, you are now ready to install Git. Open a terminal window and enter brew install git
To verify that Git is installed on your system, type git --version
In your terminal run: brew install adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk8
In Mac OSX 10.5 or later, Apple recommends to set the $JAVA_HOME variable to /usr/libexec/java_home, just export $JAVA_HOME in file ~/. bash_profile or ~/.profile.
# This will open up a text editor called vim
$ vim .bash_profile
# Inside the text editor, write this
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
# To quit vim and save your changes:
# 1. press the ESC key
# 2. You should see the ––INSERT–– label vanish from the lower-left.
# 3. To save your changes before you exit, type :w , and then Enter. This will save any changes made.
# Vim will respond by outputting the filename, whether it’s new, and how many characters were written to the hard drive.
# Next, execute the file you created
$ source .bash_profile
# Confirm that the path variable has been set
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.8.0.jdk/Contents/Home
For older Mac OSX, the /usr/libexec/java_home doesn’t exist, so, you should set JAVA_HOME to the fixed path:
$ vim .bash_profile
export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.8.0.jdk/Contents/Home
$ source .bash_profile
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.8.0.jdk/Contents/Home

We will manually download the PostgreSQL installer visiting the official website. Look at the row for version 13.x.
Select the download link which corresponds with your system and click it.
You'll then be prompted to save the file. Click Save File. The file should now be located in your Downloads folder.
Double click the file, which should launch the installer. You might be asked if you want the application to make changes to your device. Click yes.
You'll be presented with several menus in the Setup Wizard. Click Next until you get to the Select Components menu.
Here, you'll want to select and/or deselect the following and then click Next:
Continue to click Next until you reach the Password menu. Here you will create a password for the default Postgres user (which is postgres). DO NOT use a password you use anywhere else. I reccomend making the password postgres. DO NOT forget your password as you won't be able to login to your database as the superuser.
After you've decided on a password, click Next on the remaining menus and allow time for Postgres to be installed.
Once the installation is complete, you might be asked if you want to launch Stack Builder. You can say no.
PostgreSQL should now be successfully installed on your computer.
