They (PGadmin team) seem very happy that they have cleared a lot of bugs but they have caused a bit of grief as well. I find Squirrel SQL more suitable for my needs and it's a desktop app, give it a try. I only use PGadmin occaisionally. – Slumdog Jun 7 '18 at 3:21. Installing PostgreSQL on Mac OS is easy, and in this post we will review all the necessary steps to get it up and running.

These instructions are for PostgreSQL 9.1 and higher, PostGIS 2.2 and higher that is compiled with raster support.Note: if you have postgis, without raster support, you can not use CREATE EXTENSION. Refer to PostGIS install.
Enabling PostGIS
Pgadmin Mac
PostGIS is an optional extension that must be enabled in each database you want to use it in before you can use it. Installing the software is just the first step.DO NOT INSTALL it in the database called
postgres
.Connect to your database with
psql
or PgAdmin. Run the following SQL.You need only install the features you want:Upgrading PostGIS
To upgrade PostGIS, you first have to install the latest binaries and then upgrade each database you have PostGIS installed in
For example connect to database you want to upgrade and if you just installed binaries for 2.1.3You can upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1, 2.2 et.c using this approach. To go from 1.* to 2.* you need to do a hard upgrade.Refer to PostGIS install for more extensive instructions.Note: that as of PostGIS 2.1.3 and PostGIS 2.0.6, you need to set environment variables to get full features.

NOTE: This section assumes that you have downloaded and installed pgAdmin 4.
pgAdmin is the most popular and feature-rich platform for administration and development of PostgreSQL databases. Check the pgAdmin official page for more information.
To connect to your remote PostgreSQL database server using pgAdmin 4, follow these steps:
- Open port 5432 in your firewall (on Linux only). For example, if you are using ufw, you would run the following commands:IMPORTANT: By default, the database port for the nodes in this solution cannot be accessed over a public IP address. As a result, you will only be able to connect to your database nodes from machines that are running in the same network. For security reasons, we do not recommend making the database port accessible over a public IP address. If you must make it accessible over a public IP address, we recommend restricting access to a trusted list of source IP addresses using firewall rules. For development purposes, you can also use a VPN or SSH tunnel. Refer to the FAQ for information on accessing restricted ports using an SSH tunnel or opening ports in the server firewall.
- At the server console, edit the file installdir/postgresql/data/pg_hba.conf and add the following at the end, then save the file:
- Edit the file installdir/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf and replace this linewith:
- Save the file.
