Carson,

 

I should add – if you haven't checked out QGIS and you are new to PostGIS 
please do – https://qgis.org

 

It has binaries for Mac, Windows, Linux and has a pretty nice tool called 
DbManager that allows you to load data into PostGIS in many formats (including 
ESRI Shapefile)

 

https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/training_manual/databases/db_manager.html

 

Hope that helps,

Regina

Carson,

 

You'd need shp2pgsql-gui installed (and pgAdmin3 didn't come with that).  That 
always got packaged with the desktop distributions that included PostGIS.

 

All pgAdmin3 really helped you with was prefilling the connection info, which 
turned out to be more convenient than I thought.  It's amazing how lazy I've 
become.

 

If you can find where the shp2pgsql-gui binary is installed on your system you 
can launch it directly and then click the "View connection details" and fill in 
the information that pgAdmin3 would so conveniently fill in for you.

Should I just download pgAdmin 3?

Carson,

 

Do you compile your own PostGIS or you get from a distribution.  We still have 
shp2pgsql-gui in PostGIS code base, and I still ship it as part of the Windows 
EDB builds.

 

Unfortunately pgAdmin4 plugin architecture changed from pgAdmin3 days, so 
shp2gpsql-gui cannot work as a plugin under pgAdmin4.

 

I took it out of our upcoming PostGIS In Action book we are doing because of 
that and hoping we'll have a replacement for it soon that piggy backs on 
shp2pgsql commandline.

Hello,

 

I have a Macbook Pro and am using PGAdmin 4 and PostGIS. I cannot seem to find 
the PostGIS 2.0 Shapefile and DBF Loader. Can anyone help with this? Is there 
something else I need to download? Thanks.
