With all due respect, the link he posted IS the link listed on the PostgreSQL website, at least for me. When I go to the link YOU posted, and click on MacOS, for example (giving me a URL of https://www.postgresql.org/download/macosx/ <https://www.postgresql.org/download/macosx/>), the FIRST option listed there is "Interactive installer by EDB”, which links to https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads <https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads>. There is no indication on that page that you are linking to a third-party package download not supported by PostgreSQL (it does say “certified by EDB”, but that doesn’t mean much to a new user, and certainly doesn’t indicate a lack of support by PostgreSQL), so it makes total sense that someone would think to ask here first when experiencing issues.

If you don’t want to offer assistance, that’s fine, but this link most certainly IS the link listed on the PostgreSQL website, at least for MacOS. I haven’t checked for other operating systems.
