==> Caveats | |
If builds of Postgresl 9 are failing and you have version 8.x installed, | |
you may need to remove the previous version first. See: | |
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/issue/2510 | |
To build plpython against a specific Python, set PYTHON prior to brewing: | |
PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python brew install postgresql | |
See: | |
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/install-procedure.html | |
If this is your first install, create a database with: | |
initdb /usr/local/var/postgres | |
If this is your first install, automatically load on login with: | |
cp /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.0.1/org.postgresql.postgres.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents | |
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.postgresql.postgres.plist | |
If this is an upgrade and you already have the org.postgresql.postgres.plist loaded: | |
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.postgresql.postgres.plist | |
cp /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.0.1/org.postgresql.postgres.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents | |
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.postgresql.postgres.plist | |
Or start manually with: | |
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start | |
And stop with: | |
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop -s -m fast | |
If you want to install the postgres gem, including ARCHFLAGS is recommended: | |
env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install pg | |
To install gems without sudo, see the Homebrew wiki. | |

Also worth noting. Depending upon which versions of Postgresql you've had on your machine, sometimes you may need to clear out the old /usr/local/var/postgres folder. Running postgresql via launchtcl can sometimes fail silently if there is an old db folder from a different version.
# remove old database files (this is dangerous)
$rm -rf /usr/local/var/postgres
# install the binary
$ brew install postgresql
# init it
$ initdb /usr/local/var/postgres
# start the postgres server
$ postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres
# create your database
$ createdb mydb
How to stop the server?
@bansalgagan pg_ctl stop
can pass mode as -m i[mmediate] -f[ast]
pg_ctl expects PGDATA env var to be set or you can pass the data directory via the -D param. You can find by your data dir by running SHOW data_directory;
against the db via psql or your ui of choice.
for more info pg_ctl --help
Very useful guide, thank you!
How do I setup a user and password?
# Create user with password
createuser -P my_user_name
# Grant rights for just created user to database
psql my_db_name
# after connecting
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database my_db_name TO my_user_name;
Very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks a lot!
Great, it's very useful.
