Run the following on a Mac to install requirements:
```
brew install postgresql etcd haproxy libyaml
pip install psycopg2 pyyaml
```
# Notice
There are many different ways to do HA with PostgreSQL, see (the
docs)[https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Replication,_Clustering,_and_Connection_Pooling] for a complete list.
We call this project a "template" because it is far from a one-size fits
all, or a plug-and-play replication system. It will have it's own
caveats. Use wisely.
