Brew install postgresql@16

brew install postgresql@16

==> Caveats
This formula has created a default database cluster with:
  initdb --locale=C -E UTF-8 /Users/user/brew/var/postgresql@16
For more details, read:
  https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/app-initdb.html

postgresql@16 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /Users/user/brew,
because this is an alternate version of another formula.

If you need to have postgresql@16 first in your PATH, run:
  echo 'export PATH="/Users/user/brew/opt/postgresql@16/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

For compilers to find postgresql@16 you may need to set:
 export LDFLAGS="-L/Users/user/brew/opt/postgresql@16/lib"
 export CPPFLAGS="-I/Users/user/brew/opt/postgresql@16/include"

For pkg-config to find postgresql@16 you may need to set:
 export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/Users/user/brew/opt/postgresql@16/lib/pkgconfig"

To start postgresql@16 now and restart at login:
 brew services start postgresql@16
Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:
  LC_ALL="C" /Users/user/brew/opt/postgresql@16/bin/postgres -D /Users/user/brew/var/postgresql@16
