+Replace `14` with the version of PostgreSQL you're using. Then run:
+
+
+```
+createuser -U postgres -D -P flamenco  # give it the password 'flamenco'
+createdb -U postgres -O flamenco -E utf8 flamenco
+createdb -U postgres -O flamenco -E utf8 flamenco-test

+When it asks "Enter password for new role:", give the password "flamenco"
+When it asks "Password:", give the password for the postgres admin user (you chose this during installation of PostgreSQL).
