Done!
+If you have postgres installed via a different means (such as PostgresApp), you
+can ``brew install --build-from-source pgcli`` which will skip installing
+postgres via brew if postgres is available in the path.
+
Alternatively, you can install ``pgcli`` as a python package using a package
manager called called ``pip``. You will need postgres installed on your system
for this to work. Check if ``pip`` is installed on the system.
