- update file path for postgresql.conf
- configure host for psql
- make the seed section its own section so its not embedded as a code snipppet

OS X comes with Git (which is why the LibXML2 dance above will work before this step!), but I recommend you update to Homebrew's version:
brew install git # 1.8.5.3 is current
brew install git

Atlassan has a free Git client for OS X called [SourceTree](http://www.sourcetreeapp.com/download/) which can be extremely useful for keeping visual track of what's going on in Git-land. While it's arguably not a full substitute for command-line git (especially if you know the command line well), it's extremely powerful for a GUI version-control client.

OS X ships with Postgres 9.1.5, but you're better off going with the latest from Homebrew or [Postgres.App](http://postgresapp.com).

### Using Postgres.app
After installing the [Postgres93 App](http://postgresapp.com/), there is some additional setup that is necessary for discourse to create a database on your machine.

Open this file:
```
~/Library/Application Support/Postgres93/var/postgresql.conf
~/Library/Application Support/Postgres/var-9.3/postgresql.conf
```
And change these two lines so that postgres will create a socket in the folder discourse expects it to:
```
unix_socket_directories = '/var/pgsql_socket'»# comma-separated list of directories
unix_socket_directories = '/var/pgsql_socket' # comma-separated list of directories
#and
unix_socket_permissions = 0777»·»·# begin with 0 to use octal notation
unix_socket_permissions = 0777 # begin with 0 to use octal notation
```
Then create the '/var/pgsql/' folder and set up the appropriate permission in your bash (this requires admin access)

And you should be good to go!
#### Troubleshooting
If you get this error when starting `psql` from the command line:
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
It is because it is still looking in the `/temp` directory and not in `/var/pgsql_socket`.
If running `psql -h /var/pgsql_socket` works then you need to configure the host in your `.bash_profile`:
```
export PGHOST="/var/pgsql_socket"
````
Then make sure to reload your config with: `source ~/.bash_profile`. Now `psql` should work.
### Using Homebrew:
Whereas Ubuntu installs postgres with 'postgres' as the default superuser, Homebrew installs it with the user who installed it... but with 'postgres' as the default database. Go figure.
