Postgresql Error in psql command not found in zsh mac

Question

I have installed postgresql on my mac!

• However when I run the command "psql" it says:

zsh: command not found: psql

• I have located the location of my psql command (with other all postgres commands + pgadmin) and it is in /Users/Library/PostgreSQL/13/bin

• when I do echo $PATH I get:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

• Now what do I do to run psql without any error?

Answer 1

/Users/Library/PostgreSQL/13/bin is not in your "path"

Easy solution would be to create a symbolic link for psql in /usr/local/bin/:

ln -s /Users/Library/PostgreSQL/13/bin/psql /usr/local/bin/psql

Otherwise you can edit your profile file and extend your path to /Users/Library/PostgreSQL/13/bin
