This tutorial is an aid to doing the bits of the standard install in a mac-specific way. I'll try to keep the headings/numbering the same so you can follow.

4. PostgreSQL 8.0+
I like OSX Postgres installer found at http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/ as it puts PostgreSQL in /usr/local thus saving me from the game of 'hunt the os specific path' that can make your life hell. This way everything is where you expect it to be (especially if you are looking postgresql documentation that assumes unix/linux)
There are a number of OSX installers/builds. Use the one you like best.

Wiki MarkupNote: you can also install PostgreSQL using [MacPorts|http://guide.macports.org] (or you can read here \ [http://www.mac-how.net/ Mac How\] )
