I fixed the issue by installing PostGIS with Postgres using https://postgresapp.com/downloads.html.

1. Install PostGIS (2.2): brew install postgis
2. To unlink geos if version is higher than 3.6.1: brew unlink geos
3. Install Geos (3.6.1): brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/145b22e8330e094ee148861e72e26c03e73d34a1/Formula/geos.rb

5. Login to database and create postgis extensions: CREATE EXTENSION postgis; Test postgis extension: SELECT ST_Distance('LINESTRING(-122.33 47.606, 0.0 51.5)'::geography, 'POINT(-21.96 64.15)'::geography);
6. Check postgis version: SELECT PostGIS_full_version();
