Postgresql 在 zsh mac 中找不到 psql 命令错误

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

Answer 2

I also had the same issue and a simple solution is to restart the terminal. It gives an opportunity for terminal to reload Postgres.

Answer 3

What i did to make it work:

1. I didn't have a .zshrc file and created one (peeped here link )

   • Steps for creation:

     • Open Terminal
     • Type touch ~/.zshrc to create the respective file. ( touch command will create the .zshrc in your current directory but it will be hidden)
     • Hit Return

   • To view/open ~/.zshrc you can do either of two things:

     • Open Finder > Press Cmd + Shift + . (and you will see hidden files)
       my path to the file: Macintosh HD > Users > anatolii =>.zshrc

     Or:

     • Open Terminal > and type: open ~/.zshrc

2. Editing .zshrc

   • Open .zshrc in editor and pasted this line:
     export PATH=/Library/PostgreSQL/15/bin:$PATH
