### System upgrade and PG Install
#```
sudo apt-get update
#sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
#```

### Switch to User Postgres and
###  ... change postgres user default password and perms
#```pg
# $> sudo -u postgres psql
#    postgres=> alter user postgres password 'apassword';
#    postgres=> create user yerusername createdb createuser password 'somepass';
#    postgres=> create database yerusername owner yerusername;
#    postgres=> \q
# $>
#``` 

### ... now as your regular user 'yerusername' you can connect to postgres, and 
### ... have the privileges to create new users and databases.
###
### ... That sequence also modified the postgres user's password in case you 
### ... change the default authentication method to md5 (this is set in 
### ... pg_hba.conf, see the documentation for more details)

### Editing server configs ... then restarting server to allow changes to take effect
#``` 
  sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql reload
  sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
#```
