Before you continue reading this guide why not try a more easy way, using the Koding Package Manager (kpm) and install PostgreSQL using just one command:
kpm install postgresql
PostgreSQL is an open source relational database management system that provides an implementation of the SQL query language. In this guide, we'll go over installing PostgreSQL on your Koding VM. Lets get started!
We can install Postgres by using apt-get. To do this, open your Terminal and paste in the following two commands.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
Once these two commands finish Postgres should be installed and running.
To confirm your Installation and that Postgres is running, run the following command in your Terminal.
service postgresql status
It should respond with approximately the following.
9.3/main (port 5432): online
For instructions on using Postgres, see the Using PostgreSQL guide.
