This is similar to what you can do on certain Linux distributions, for example Debian. To install something, first brew tap petere/postgresql and then brew install . Since there might be name overlaps with core Homebrew formulae, you should use fully qualified formula names like brew install petere/postgresql/postgresql-common . Details ------- Since PostgreSQL major releases have incompatible data directories and other occasional incompatibilities, it is useful for many developers to keep several major versions installed in parallel for development, testing, and production. So far, Homebrew had inconsistent support for that and did not provide the full range of supported major versions. This tap provides versioned formulae named postgresql@9.5 , postgresql@9.6 , etc. that you can install in parallel. Technically, these are \"keg-only\", which has the nice side effect that they are automatically installed in side-by-side directories /usr/local/opt/postgresql@9.6/ etc. To use the programs installed by these formulae, do one or more of the following, in increasing order of preference: - Call all programs explicitly with /usr/local/opt/postgresql@9.6/bin/... . This will be boring in the long run. - Add your preferred /usr/local/opt/postgresql@x.y/bin etc. to your path.
