How to create `blockchain_course` database? #18

Closed OrfeasLitos closed 5 years ago

OrfeasLitos commented 5 years ago

I tried following the instructions found here. Since postgres cannot (and should not) be run as root, using /usr/local/pgsql/data as data directory was not a choice, so I created a directory within blockchain_course named db_data and ran initdb -D db_data. But then postgres -D db_data failed with FATAL: could not create lock file "/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock": Permission denied. Can you please help?

Tl; dr: setting up the required database should be documented.

This is not an issue related to this repository. Have you tried to sudo chown -R postgres:postgres /var/run/postgresql ?

I think it is.

If you mean detailed instructions how to create a database in postgres I think it is out of the scope of this repository. There are plenty available online tutorials showing how to do that.
