#Installation

macOS

$ brew install postgres
$ cabal install tmp-postgres

Ubuntu

Ubuntu's PostgreSQL installation does not put initdb on the PATH. We need to add it manually.

$ sudo apt-get install postgresql-VERSION
$ echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/postgresql/VERSION/bin/" >> /home/ubuntu/.bashrc
