Setting Up Your PostgreSQL Database

1. Install PostgreSQL:
   • Ensure that PostgreSQL is installed on your system. You can download and install it from the official PostgreSQL website.
2. Create a New Database:
   • Open your terminal or command prompt and connect to the PostgreSQL server using the psql command-line tool.
   • Create a new database by running the following command:

     CREATE DATABASE mydatabase;
     

   • Replace mydatabase with your desired database name.
3. Use a Template:
   • To simplify the setup process, you can use one of our provided templates. These templates include a predefined schema and sample tables.
   • Download the template SQL file from our templates repository.
   • Open psql

     psql -h <database-host> -U <database-user> -p <database-port:default 5432> mydatabase
     

   • Import the template into your new database by running:

     \i /path/to/template.sql
     

   • Replace /path/to/template.sql with the actual path to the downloaded template file.
