How to do it...

Like Maria, we actually have to install the software first:

$ sudo yum install postgresql-server -y

Unlike Maria, we have to set Postgres up before we can use it:

$ sudo postgresql-setup initdbInitializing database ... OK

However, once that's done, you can start and enable the server:

$ sudo systemctl enable --now postgresql 

Now, log into your database (in a slightly different fashion than Maria):

$ sudo -u postgres psql psql (9.2.24)Type "help" for help.postgres=#
