mister ijoi,

See "Mac OS X: Do instead:" in section 3's "Create the Postgres user" on this page: https://openacs.org/doc/current/postgres.html#install-postgres-mac
It shows the commands used to add users and groups in mac osx. You can use 'man commandname' to read more about how to use them.

hope this helps,

Yes.

     useradd $OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME
     groupadd web

from https://openacs.org/doc/current/openacs.html

is already done for mac users with:

     sudo niutil -create / /users/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME
     sudo niutil -createprop / /users/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME gid 201
     sudo niutil -createprop / /users/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME uid 201

ok it done...
actually step in postgres installation we have create the users so for openacs installation just ignore useradd but just jump to openacs installation with username that you already registered.
