Updating README to clarify Step 3 #125

Closed Jxsephh closed 3 years ago

Jxsephh commented 3 years ago

Added some clarification to the README that expands on some of the steps needed to configure the server and initialize the database using psql with Windows, which has some additional steps when installing for the first time.

Thanks! Looks good now. I'm a little unsure about installing all of postgres here instead of just the client piece, but perhaps it is better than a Mac-only readme. Also there is another PR suggesting the full local install alternative so maybe this will come together better.

Thanks for reviewing! I hadn't done much markdown before, so I apologize for the errors.

Is there a download for just the client on Windows? I don't see one.

Great question, this StackOverflow answer says that there isn't one but details what to remove in order to trim the fat on the download. I don't mind adding those steps to the README as an optional step, if you'd like!

No problem re: the markdown tips. That's what reviewers are for.

re: the Windows install, I'm leaning toward assuming they might find "the fat" useful if that's the way it comes. But if you think it's better to mention a link that's fine too. Try to keep it simple though. I think once the other PR lands, folks might be likely to run a local postgres anyway and keep that fat.
