I had the same situation and remove the complete folder.

I have seen this before. This is a permission problem. In the shell script it
wants to get some info (cwd = current working directory) and fails because of
very strange sudo configuration on Apple. I had the same problem with the
bootstraper. Some create use of cli switches was neccessary.

Remove it *completely* Reinstall completely and observere if it creates in
your Application folder a number of shortcuts for starting and stoping. Try
starting the included pgadmin3 to verify that the server is up and running.

This is an option. I would not recommend this for the general public as it
will fail often since manual configuration is in order and i wonder if the set
it up to start as a service , let alone set a password for postgres.
