Change Postgresql version that Postgres.app uses

Question

When I use Postgres.app, it uses version 9.6.

I have version 10.5 installed as well (via Homebrew) on my computer and want to use that instead.

When clicking on the + sign in the sidebar to "Create new server" I only get a dropdown with versions 9.5, 9.6 and 10.

How do I instruct Postgress.app to use 10.5?

Answer 1

The version you installed with brew is in a different $PATH. It is an independent installation from the one you installed with Postgres.app

Answer 2

You would have to install the corresponding version of the app which supports your required version from this link, in your case last option might work. https://postgresapp.com/downloads.html
