FreeBSD

pkg_add -r postgresql82-server

The package creates a 'pgsql' user account. Change to that user to finish the installation:

su -m pgsql

Initialize the database:

/usr/local/bin/initdb /usr/local/pgsql/data

Create a user:

/usr/local/bin/createuser USERNAME

Log out of the 'pgsql' user account by pressing

[CRTL]+d

or

lo

At this point the PostgreSQL daemon can be started.

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql start
