## Install Behavior

- Post-install hook: not defined
- Caveats: Pgcopydb searches for PostgreSQL command-line tools in your system's PATH environment variable. To use a specific PostgreSQL version's command-line tools, ensure they are accessible in your PATH. When no PostgreSQL tools are found in PATH, pgcopydb defaults to using the command-line tools provided by the libpq formula.
