/Library/PostgreSQL/15
With version 15 and likely older versions there is a pg_env.sh script in this folder that can be used to set up some environment variables to point to postgresql executables.
/Library/PostgreSQL/15 mike@Michaels-Laptop 15 % cat pg_env.sh #!/bin/sh # The script sets environment variables helpful for PostgreSQL export PATH=/Library/PostgreSQL/15/bin:$PATH export PGDATA=/Library/PostgreSQL/15/data export PGDATABASE=postgres export PGUSER=postgres export PGPORT=5432 export PGLOCALEDIR=/Library/PostgreSQL/15/share/locale export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/Library/PostgreSQL/15/share/man
you can invoke this from your default .zprofile by adding the line
echo “. /Library/PostgreSQL/15/pg_env.sh” >> ~/.zprofile
