Dependencies

There are multiple dependencies that must be installed for this project:

1. PHP
2. PostgreSQL

Install PHP

$ brew install php56 --with-pdo-pgsql

Install PostgreSQL

This will take you through the process of installing, starting, and creating a PostgreSQL database locally.

1. Install

$ brew install postgresql

After running brew install postgresql, the terminal will output directions that you will use to get your installation up and running.

1. Create/Upgrade a Database

If this is your first install, create a database with:

$ initdb \
  --auth=md5 \
  --auth-host=md5 \
  --auth-local=md5 \
  --pgdata=<db_directory> \
  --encoding=UTF8 \
  --locale=en_US.UTF-8 \
  --username=<db_admin_username>
  --pwprompt

You will need to replace the <db_directory> and <db_admin_username> with actual values that make sense for your environment. The <db_directory> is a fully-qualified path name to a directory. This directory is where data files for the database installation will be located. The <db_admin_username> is the name of the administrator for the database installation. This command will prompt you to enter a password for the <db_admin_username>.

Note: We suggest defining a .data directory at the root level of this application for the <db_directory>.

1. Start/Stop PostgreSQL

After running the initdb command, you should see a success message. Use the pg_ctl utility to start the database.

$ pg_ctl -D <db_directory> start

You will need to replace the <db_directory> with the same value you used when running the initdb command (above). Alternatively, you can set the PGDATA environment variable to this value and you will not need to specify the -D <db_directory> flag.

1. Login

Login to the default postgres database with the user that created the database.

$ psql postgres

Note: PostgreSQL will create the default database postgres, which you can access with the same user that you used to create the database.

1. Database

The install process is assuming that an 'earthquake' database already exists.

CREATE DATABASE earthquake;
