Install Postgresql for Windows (the actual .exe not Linux Bash) | |
Create User & Password for Postgresql (I use postgres & password for my local development) | |
Install `postgresql-client-common`, `postgresql-client`, `and libpq-dev` (In Bash) | |
Run a sanity check in Bash to verify that things are working `psql -p 5432 -h localhost -U postgres` | |
If you get a psql prompt you're good to go, now you can do what you need to do (my particular situation was to get Rails running) | |
If you have errors well then you may just need to peck away at things and double check that your Postgres server is running in Windows |
