PostgreSQL Installation on Big Sur Failure

I have upgraded my Mac to Big Sur 11.1 and am trying to install PostgreSQL from EnterpriseDB, but I keep running into two errors before the installation completes.

The errors are as follow:

  1. A non-fatal error occur whilst creating menu shortcuts.
  2. problem running post-install step. installation may not complete correctly the database cluster

After these errors occur, the window tells me the installation has been completed but Admin4 takes a long time to open and open on Google Chrome and the 'data' folder has no content.

Can someone help me resolve these issues while installing PostgreSQL from EnterpriseDB?

Solution

  • I run into a similar problem after update to Big Sur and upgrade of PostgreSQL (non-EnterpriseDB version though) to newer version.

    It worked after I granted postgres components all available permissions under Security & Privacy (Full Disk Access and Automation) and reinstall.
