PostgreSQL Setup on Arch Linux

Prerequisites

• yaourt, or the AUR helper of your choice, examples will use yaourt.
• Arch Linux install
• Sudo installed and configured to allow youruser access

Update

<youruser@yourhost ~>$ yaourt -Syu --aur

Install PostgreSQL

<youruser@yourhost ~>$ yaourt -S postgresql

Install the PG Gem

<youruser@yourhost ~>$ rvm use 1.9.2
<youruser@yourhost ~>$ gem i pg

Start PostgreSQL (we normally run it supervised, see [PostgreSQL-Supervision] for details):

/etc/rc.d/postgresql start

Create the callcenter database role, and database:

<youruser@yourhost ~>$ createuser -U postgres -P callcenter

Create the db

<youruser@yourhost ~>$ createdb -U postgres -O tcc                                                                                                                                                                                    

Adjust TCC_DB in your local environment

<youruser@yourhost ~>$ vim ~/.tccenv/TCC\_DB           
<youruser@yourhost ~>$ cat ~/.tccenv/TCC\_DB           

postgres://callcenter@localhost/tiny_call_center

This should be the URI to the database created in the last step
