### Install via Homebrew (Mac OS X)
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the Homebrew package manager to install PostgREST on Mac
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Ensure brew is up to date
|
||||
brew update
|
||||
|
||||
# Check for any problems with brew's setup
|
||||
brew doctor
|
||||
|
||||
# Install the postgrest package
|
||||
brew install postgrest
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will automatically install PostgreSQL as a dependency (see the [Installing PostgreSQL](#installing-postgresql) section for setup instructions). The process tends to take up to 15 minutes to install the package and its dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
After installation completes, the tool is added to your $PATH and can be used from anywhere with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
postgrest --help
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing PostgreSQL
|
||||
|
||||
To use PostgREST you will need an underlying database (PostgreSQL version 9.3 or greater is required). You can use something like Amazon [RDS](https://aws.amazon.com/rds/) but installing your own locally is cheaper and more convenient for development.
