Dear PostgreSQL Support Team,
I am writing to report an issue I am encountering while trying to install the PostGIS extension using Stack Builder on a MacBook with Apple Silicon (ARM64 architecture).
Issue Description:
Whenever I attempt to download and install the PostGIS extension through Stack Builder, the application freezes or gets stuck indefinitely in a buffering state. The installation process fails to progress, preventing me from completing the setup.
Environment Details:
Operating System: macOS (Apple Silicon / ARM architecture)
Tool: Stack Builder
Component: PostGIS Extension
Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this freezing behavior or offer an alternative workaround to successfully install PostGIS on an ARM64-based Mac?
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
Hariharan Murugesan
Please follow the advice given on the downloads page for the installer <https://www.postgresql.org/download/macosx>:
In the unlikely event that you have issues with the installer, please report them on the installer Github page.
cheers
