Postgres on Debian (as root)

    # install as root
    apt-get install --no-install-recommends postgresql postgresql-client


Setting up postgres (as root)

    # become postgres user
    su postgres
    # spawn postgres admin shell
    psql 

You'll get a prompt, enter the following:

    CREATE ROLE srnd WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'srnd';
    CREATE DATABASE srnd WITH ENCODING 'UTF8' OWNER srnd;
    \q

For demo purposes we'll use these credentials.
These are default values, please change them later.

## important

these credentials assume you are going to run using a user called `srnd`, if your username you plan to run the daemon as is different please change `srnd` to your username.

Now run it, [next](running.md)
