Overview
Initial Installation
brew install postgresql
The installation output will contain the value to used for -D flag (the database directory).
Write it down and set the PGDATA environment variable to that value, so pg_ct commands will work without an explicit -D.
Add to .bashrc:
export PGDATA=/opt/brew/var/postgresql@14
Update Already Installed Package
brew upgrade postgresql
