Setting up the database

We are using postgres for storing data.

• Now install and configure Postgres using Homebrew

$ brew install postgres
$ brew services start postgres
$ psql -d postgres -f "/path/to/seed.sql"

• Download EnterpriseDB installer for you version of windows.
• Run the installer and go through the setup proccess.
• Before finishing it will ask you if you want to download additional tools, uncheck the box (if you don't need it).
