Download our Mac plv8 bundle

Copy this to the server Desktop

Find the folder where PostgreSQL is installed. This should have sub-folders named bin, lib, shared, etc. Write down the full directory path, which looks something like /usr/local/postgres/9.2.4 or /Library/PostgreSQL/9.3.

Open a Terminal window on your Mac

Type the following ($ is the shell prompt - don't type that part):

$ cd Desktop
$ tar xf xtuple_plv8.tgz
# if "xtuple_plv8.tgz" doesn't exist, try "xtuple_plv8.tar"
$ cd xtuple_plv8
$ sudo ./install_plv8.sh

Enter your password when install_plv8.sh asks

Enter the full path to the PostgreSQL installation directory when install_plv8.sh asks. If you make a mistake, it'll just ask again. Type CTRL-C to quit if you can't remember the full path.

install_plv8.sh will run for another second or two and you'll get a shell prompt back.
