If your Postgres service has stopped working, follow these instructions to learn how to fix this problem.
1. Use the magnifying glass in the upper corner to search for “Terminal“
2. Type “cd…” which takes your search up one level. Continue this until you see the name of the computer in the root directory. In this example, the name of the computer is “posdowntown$“
3. Now that you’re at the root directory, type “cd library/postgresql/14” (The number “14” refers to the version of Postgres you have installed. This might be version 15, 16, etc.)
4. Type “sudo u-postgres ./bin/pg_ctl – D data start” to start Postgres.
5. To check your Postgres version, select “Go,” then open the “Finder” and type “/library/postgresql/“
