Overview
Initial Installation
brew install postgresql
Configure Environment
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
See:
Update Already Installed Package
brew upgrade postgresql
Operate the Database as a Service
Start at Login
To have launchd start postgresql now and restart at login:
brew services start postgresql@14
For more details, see:
To Run without a Service
/opt/brew/opt/postgresql@14/bin/postgres -D /opt/brew/var/postgresql@14
Explore equivalency with:
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start
Status
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres status
Stop
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop
