Postgresql Setup

To setup postgresql:

psql

CREATE DATABASE <DATABASE_NAME>;
CREATE USER <DATABASE_USER> WITH PASSWORD '1234567';

ALTER ROLE <DATABASE_USER> SET client_encoding TO 'utf8';
ALTER ROLE <DATABASE_USER> SET default_transaction_isolation TO 'read committed';
ALTER ROLE <DATABASE_USER> SET timezone TO 'UTC';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE <DATABASE_NAME> TO <DATABASE_USER>;
\q

After this is done, you will need to update config.py with the user name, password, and database name.
