Relational database management systems are a key component of many web sites and applications. They provide a structured way to store, organize, and access information.
PostgreSQL, or Postgres, is a relational database management system that provides an implementation of the SQL querying language. Itβs standards-compliant and has many advanced features like reliable transactions and concurrency without read locks.
This guide demonstrates how to install Postgres on an Ubuntu 22.04 server. It also provides some instructions for general database administration.

I followed the tutorial and Rails was failing at installing the PG gem on bundle install. It was complaining about the libpq-fe.h header.
I solved the issue by running this command:
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev.
I ran it right after the second command of Step 1 (sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib). I hope this is helpful to someone out there. Cheers from Rwanda.
Please you didnβt mention the database password. How to set it? Or is it the password of the user associated with the database?
Whatβs the password for the postgres user?
