# Setup your application with PostgreSQL
|
|
Follow these links for detailed the installation guide.
|
|
|
|
1. [Mac OS](https://postgresapp.com/)
|
|
2. Linux / Ubuntu
|
|
- [Ubuntu `14.04`](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-postgresql-on-ubuntu-14-04)
|
|
- [Ubuntu `16.04 and higher`](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-postgresql-on-ubuntu-16-04)
|
|
3. [Windows](https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/)
|
|
|
|
##### You can find all installation packages for different operating systems [here](https://www.postgresql.org/download/).
|
|
|
|
##### After installation
|
|
1. If your Rails app is unable to connect to the PostgreSQL, then update your `database.yml` file with `username` and `password`.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
development:
|
|
<<: *default
|
|
username: POSTGRESSQL_USERNAME
|
|
password: POSTGRESSQL_PASSWORD
|
|
test:
|
|
<<: *default
|
|
username: POSTGRESSQL_USERNAME
|
|
password: POSTGRESSQL_PASSWORD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. While running test cases, if you get an error message `postgresql connection timeout`. Go to your `spec/support/database_cleaner.rb` file. And rename `:truncation` with `:deletion`.
|
|
|
|
##### Notes
|
|
1. Don't forget to set up your PostgreSQL with `username` and `password`.
|
|
2. Don't commit your `database.yml` or `database_cleaner.rb` files. Or PostgreSQL `username` and `password` to any repository.
|
|
3. You can use environment variables for storing `username` and `password`. You can define them inside the `application.yml` file.
