Summary

An explicit statement about stopping the server before running the uninstall script. If the script does that automatically, say that. If it does not, a short reminder to stop postgres would prevent mistakes. Also, and this is relatively minor, but since I am on a Mac, our terminals all come with .zsh, not bash. But when I put zsh in front of the path, I got 'not found' back. I put bash in, and it worked as expected. Finally, I have nothing against EDB. In fact, I have used your installer virtually every time I have needed postgres somewhere. The only reason I am switching to homebrew is because an extension I need will not install with your configuration. SEE pgvector/pgvector#778

Where would you like to see this added?

The above link apparently auto-populated. The page I was using is: https://www.enterprisedb.com/docs/supported-open-source/postgresql/uninstalling/

Rationale

Just for clarification

The command on the page is:

open /Library/PostgreSQL/<version>/uninstall-postgresql.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh

The open is not a request to open the file, but to use the open command which automatically invokes an appropriate app and shell to run the command.
