Open the file .bash_profile in your Home folder. It is a hidden file.

Add this path below to the end export PATH line in you .bash_profile file :/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin

The symbol : separates the paths.

Example:

If the file contains: export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

it will become: export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin

How to show hidden files

In Terminal, paste the following: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
