Development Notes (Mac OS X)

Building this app from scratch requires the following:

brew install postgres
Start PostgreSQL: pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start or brew services start postgresql

For completeness, there is also:

Stop PostgreSQL: pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop -s -m fast or brew services stop postgresql

Note: when upgrading Mac OS X you may find postgres does not start properly due to missing directories. These commands will create empty versions of those directories, which should remedy the problem:

mkdir /usr/local/var/postgres/{pg_tblspc,pg_twophase,pg_stat,pg_stat_tmp,pg_replslot,pg_snapshots}/ mkdir /usr/local/var/postgres/pg_logica{l,l/mappings,l/snapshots}

Miscellaneous

The styling of this app is generally based on an original static page created by Rebecca Tarsa using the HTML5 Verti design. It no longer uses any of the original code or packages.
