I install Postgresql on my Ubuntu with:
brew install postgres
now I have:
psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 9.5.0
How can I start the service automatically?
On my Mac with homebrew I can do it with:
ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/postgresql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist
but how on Ubuntu with Linuxbrew?
I try with:
brew services start postgresql
but it says:
sh: 1: list: not found
Error: Could not read the plist for `postgresql`!
