#pg_config --pkglibdir is useful for finding your $libdir
cp -a /usr/local/share/postgresql/extension/postgis* /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql@9.6/9.6.5/share/postgresql@9.6/extension/
cp -a /usr/local/lib/postgresql/postgis-2.3.so /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql@9.6/9.6.5/lib/postgis-2.3
cp -a /usr/local/lib/postgresql/rtpostgis-2.3.so /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql@9.6/9.6.5/lib/

Hey! This could be just what I need!! What is the first command exactly doing? What version of PostGIS is that? Oh, and I probably need to do some kind of ALTER EXTENSION postgis TO ..., right?

Ok. I tried it, but had a number of issues. first of all I needed to use ln -s instead of cp-a.

Perfect thank you ! I had also an error not found /usr/local/opt/proj/lib/libproj.12.dylib, but I had /usr/local/opt/proj/lib/libproj.13.dylib. So i did ln -sf /usr/local/lib/libproj.13.dylib /usr/local/lib/libproj.12.dylib which is probably not a good thing to do, but it worked ^^

I'm receiving Postgresql 10.4 installed as dependency

I cannot create extension because:

hrm=# CREATE EXTENSION postgis;

  Reason: image not found

gdal2 not found in brew

brew reinstall gdal2
Error: No available formula with the name "gdal2"

Tried to reinstall gdal, but it not solved problem of extension creation

Trying to install PostGIS to work with existing Postgres 9.6. The above installed PostgreSQL 11.1, and failed to install PostGIS. Got this:
