Test installfest scripts after each step #269

Open danman01 opened 7 years ago

During installfest, have each developer verify their commands work as expected at the end of installfest before moving on from installfest. This will saves a lot of debugging time later on when we actually use these tools.

Ex:

Can you type psql and do you get into the psql console? Can you type rbenv global and do you get back the correct version? If so, great! If not, flag a consultant.

edit it looks like many checks are echod to the command line. We may want them in the README as if there's 100s of lines flying by in the terminal, it'll be glossed over.

in /config/postgres.sh, createdb `whoami` may not have run on install, in which case have people run createdb `whoami` again. this issue could be detected easily by running psql after install
