The default DATA_DIRECTORY is /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Postgres/var-xx On subsequent app launches, Postgres.app only starts the server.

Starting with PostgreSQL 15 additionally: -locale-provider=icu -icu-locale=en-US -data-checksums Initialise a database cluster: initdb -D DATA_DIRECTORY -U postgres -encoding=UTF-8 -locale=en_US.UTF-8.When you first start Postgres.app, here's what it does: Postgres.app bundles the PostgreSQL binaries inside the application package.
#POSTGRES APP FOR WINDOWS INSTALL#
Install MacPorts, then type:īrew install automake cmake docbook-xsl libtool pkg-config The quickest way to install all the dependencies is with MacPorts. To build the PostgreSQL 13 docs, you need these packages (see for details):
#POSTGRES APP FOR WINDOWS CODE#
make -j 3 || echo "Build failed with exit code $?" Prerequisites for building the binariesĪt the very least, you need the following: However, parallel builds make debugging problems a lot harder, so don't use them when something doesn't work.Īlways check the exit code of make to see if any errors occurred, eg. Since my macOS 10.12 VM is limited to 2 virtual CPUs, I use -j 3. My recommendation is to use one more job than the number of logical processors you have. make -j 3 postgresql) for parallel builds. If you want to change the version number of any of the dependencies, edit the makefile (all version numbers are specified at the top). So for best results, make sure that directory is empty before starting the build. The makefile will install all products in /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/xx (xx is the major version of PostgreSQL). PostGIS and especially plv8 with all their dependencies take a long time to build, so if you don't need them, type make postgresql instead. The default target ( all) builds postgresql, postgis, wal2json, pldebugger and plv8 (till PostgreSQL 13).

#POSTGRES APP FOR WINDOWS DOWNLOAD#
The makefile will download and build many gigabytes of sources. If you have all the prerequisites installed (see below), you can just type make. The directories src-xx each contain a makefile that downloads and builds all the binaries. If you want to build your own versions of all the PostgreSQL binaries, you have slightly more work to do. Xcode 11 or later (Swift 5 support is required).So just make sure you have a copy of Postgres.app in your applications folder.

If you want to work on the user interface only, you don't have to re-compile the binaries yourself.īy default, the buildscript for Postgres.app just copies the binaries from /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions It is of course possible to use other versions of macOS / Xcode (see details below), but those are the environments we use. The GUI is built on macOS 12 with Xcode 14.1 The binaries for PostgreSQL 15 are built on macOS 12 with Command Line Tools for Xcode 14 The binaries for PostgreSQL 14 are built on macOS 11 with Command Line Tools for Xcode 12.5 The binaries for PostgreSQL 13 are built on macOS 10.15 with Xcode 11.7 The binaries for PostgreSQL 11 - 12 are built on macOS 10.12 with Xcode 8.3.3 The binaries for PostgreSQL 9.4 - 10 were / are built on macOS 10.10 with Xcode 7.2.1

This is the native Mac app that you see when you double click Postgres.app in the Finder.įor compatibility reasons we build the different parts on different versions of macOS. The Postgres.app user interface, written in Swift. You can find the binaries in /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions The PostgreSQL binaries, including extensions and a bunch of command line tools. Documentationĭocumentation is available at, as well as from the "Open Documentation" menu item in Postgres.app. Older versions and pre-releases are available in the releases section on GitHub. You can download recent versions of Postgres.app from the Postgres.app website.
