The documentation doesn&#x27;t explain how to install binaries and the download pages don&#x27;t either. Everything defers responsibility to whatever package manager you&#x27;re using e.g. &quot;PostgreSQL can also be installed on Mac OS X using Homebrew. Please see the Homewbrew documentation for information on how to install packages&quot;. And the documentation only explains installing from source code which I can&#x27;t imagine most people aren&#x27;t doing.<p>The point is that every other database explains precisely the recommended approach for how to install it on every platform.
