I want to install PostgreSQL on my Macbook Pro ( M1 Silicon Chip ) but I could not make it done.

What I have done:

  • Downloaded postgresql and installed.
  • Downloaded postgres command line for brew.
  • Tried to start by pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start and getting error: pg_ctl: directory "/usr/local/var/postgres" is not a database cluster directory.
  • Tried to define a directory for the db by initdb /usr/local/var/postgres and getting error: zsh: killed initdb /usr/local/var/postgres

That really works :) Thanks. Just an info, I need a GUI for this and I installed Valentino Studio. Postgreapp is just an PostgreSQL runner.
