I am trying to install Timescaledb on my Mac, http://docs.timescale.com/getting-started/installation?OS=mac&method=Source. The requirement for this is PostgreSQL 9.6 so I downloaded the postgres.app. However, when I try to build and install timescaledb- I get the following error:

Z-MBP:~ user$ cd timescaledb
Z-MBP:timescaledb user$ make
/bin/sh: pg_config: command not found
Makefile:6: *** "TimescaleDB requires PostgreSQL 9.6".  Stop.

But postgres.app is installed and the server is running fine. What is going wrong and how can I fix it?

Makefile is telling you that it can't find pg_config.

As postgres.app is supposed to include this CLI utility in its install, my first guess is that you don't have the utility in your $PATH.

I think you asked same question on TimescaleDB's github issues page, and given the ongoing Q&A there, thought to just point readers to that:
