PostgreSQL Installation on Big Sur Failure

I have upgraded my Mac to Big Sur 11.1 and am trying to install PostgreSQL from EnterpriseDB, but I keep running into two errors before the installation completes.

The errors are as follow:

  1. A non-fatal error occur whilst creating menu shortcuts.
  2. problem running post-install step. installation may not complete correctly the database cluster

After these errors occur, the window tells me the installation has been completed but Admin4 takes a long time to open and open on Google Chrome and the 'data' folder has no content.

Can someone help me resolve these issues while installing PostgreSQL from EnterpriseDB?

Why is PostgreSQL not installing?

If you encounter an error about being unable to create the postgres service user, turn off any antivirus programs and re-run the installer. >\database directory and manually set the permissions for the \data subdirectory. If the subdirectory \data does not exist, create. Then uninstall PostgreSQL and re-install.

How do you make sure Postgres is installed?

The quick way to verify the installation is through the psql program. First, click the psql application to launch it. The psql command-line program will display. Second, enter all the necessary information such as the server, database, port, username, and password.

I run into a similar problem after update to Big Sur and upgrade of PostgreSQL (non-EnterpriseDB version though) to newer version.

It worked after I granted postgres components all available permissions under Security & Privacy (Full Disk Access and Automation) and reinstall.
