Quick Start

If you already know how to install python packages, then you can simply do:

$ pip install pgcli

If you're on macOS you can install it via Homebrew. Just be aware that this will install postgresql if you don't already have it.

$ brew tap-pin dbcli/tap
$ brew install pgcli

If you're having trouble with the quick start, check the install page for detailed instructions.
