You can get macOS PostgreSQL packages from several different sources.
Install MySQL on macOS Mojave. Download and install the latest MySQL generally available release DMG for macOS. While MySQL 8 is the latest version, many of my projects still use MySQL 5.7. So I still prefer installing the older version. When the install completes it will provide you with a temporary password. For MacOS Catalina, visit Install mysql2 on MacOS Catalina. Installing mysql2 gem errors on MacOS Mojave. Make sure openssl is installed on Mac via Homebrew. MacOS Update: While these instructions still work, there are new posts for recent versions of macOS, the latest being Install Apache, PHP, and MySQL on macOS Mojave. I have installed Apache, PHP, and MySQL on Mac OS X since Leopard.
