It looks like it takes you to a link that lets you download a .dmg file. I assume those are basically one-click installers for Mac OS X programs?

- nkozyra 11y agoThey are. I don't think it's in any way more arcane to install than, say, MySQL. Not to say the latter has stellar documentation, but those complaints are picky if not invalid.
- donarb 11y agoEven easier is the Postgres.app for Mac. It's a Mac application that wraps the Postgres server. Nothing to compile, just download and start the app.
- vetinari 11y agoYes, it is one click installer for OSX. However, the EnterpriseDB for OSX is basically broken. The good news is, that the user, who needs step by step instructions to download and install, will never find it out. On the other hand, user, who will find it out (because he is unable to build any pg extension with their pgxs, for example) does not need instructions at this level.
