get postgres up and running in OS X Mavericks
  1. brew cask install postgres_app

  2. In the current version of Postgres.app, the supplemental binaries are installed in /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.3/bin, not in /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/MacOS/bin. So, edit your .[bash|zsh]rc and add :

    export PSQL_PATH=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.3/bin

Followed by:

  export PATH=$PSQL_PATH:PATH
  1. Install pgadmin3 and create the db!
