I showed you how to install the PostgreSQL server. Once the PostgreSQL server is installed, you can also work with it using the command line with the psql tool.

First, you need to go to the download site of pgAdmin at https://www.pgadmin.org/download/ to download the latest version of it. Depending on the operating system, download the installation file accordingly. I am using macOS so I will download the file of pgAdmin for this operating system.

Now you can start using pgAmin to manipulate the PostgreSQL server and that’s it!
