I see no reason why ask elsewhere first, the link for the installer
download is on the Postgresql website, not elsewhere. The most logical

Because it is the Postgresql installer.

It's unfortunate that your download is blocked. As indicated by others I
am also wondering why you ask here for community support.
You pointed to a download link which is controlled by a private company
selling Postgresql services:
Read about this company on an independent website:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EnterpriseDB
If you are looking for the download links of the PostgreSQL project, you
can find it here:
https://www.postgresql.org/download/
Based on your feedback, it is NOT the link listed on the PostgreSQL website,
With all due respect, the link he posted IS the link listed on the
PostgreSQL website, at least for me. When I go to the link YOU posted, and
click on MacOS, for example (giving me a URL of
https://www.postgresql.org/download/macosx/), the FIRST option listed
there is "Interactive installer by EDB”, which links to
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads.
There is no indication on that page that you are linking to a third-party
package download not supported by PostgreSQL (it does say “certified by
EDB”, but that doesn’t mean much to a new user, and certainly doesn’t
indicate a lack of support by PostgreSQL), so it makes total sense that
someone would think to ask here first when experiencing issues.
If you don’t want to offer assistance, that’s fine, but this link most
certainly IS the link listed on the PostgreSQL website, at least for
MacOS. I haven’t checked for other operating systems.
Your comment means that the owners of any web page which links to a third
party product must support that third-party product, just by virtue of
supporting it. That's crazy.
