PostgreSql installation issues for MacOS

Question

I want to install PostgreSQL on my Macbook Pro ( M1 Silicon Chip ) but I could not make it done.

What I have done:

• Downloaded postgresql and installed.
• Downloaded postgres command line for brew.
• Tried to start by pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start and getting error: pg_ctl: directory "/usr/local/var/postgres" is not a database cluster directory.
• Tried to define a directory for the db by initdb /usr/local/var/postgres and getting error: zsh: killed initdb /usr/local/var/postgres
