Description

Would you expect this to work? I'm a little unclear on the order of things and whether brew would be available at the time. My example is something like:

postgresql/install.sh

brew install postgresql; brew services start postgresql

Wasn't sure if there was a better technique for installing a bunch of brew things as part of install

Still digging these years later. Thanks!

Research direction

Start with postgresql/install.sh and inspect how install scripts are ordered and whether the referenced brew commands fit that flow. Clarify whether the intended outcome is to install and start PostgreSQL or to support batches of Homebrew packages, then define a testable completion condition before making changes.
