High Performance PostgreSQL for Rails: Suggest installing Postgres.app using Homebrew (page 7)
Hi @andatki,
Happy New Year! Just getting back into the book after a long pause and decided to restart from the beginning.
Postgres.app is available on Homebrew as the cask postgres-unofficial:
❯ brew info --cask postgres-unofficial
==> postgres-unofficial: 2.9.2,13-14-15-16-17-18 (auto_updates)
https://postgresapp.com/
Installed
/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/postgres-unofficial/2.9.2,13-14-15-16-17-18 (2.0GB)
Installed using the formulae.brew.sh API on 2025-08-07 at 07:38:52
From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/HEAD/Casks/p/postgres-unofficial.rb
==> Name
Postgres
==> Description
App wrapper for Postgres
==> Artifacts
Postgres.app (App)
==> Analytics
install: 219 (30 days), 819 (90 days), 4,100 (365 days)
You might simplify the installation instructions a bit by adding it to sh/intro_brew_install_steps.sh.
Thank you!
Doug
