Did you install this on linux or on macOS? Also i think the create database isn't correct. Also the environment variables are saved in .env which is loaded by heroku local command.

Did the previous version not work on your machine?

[ethomas2]

nope

mbp-IT002597:~ ethomas$ pg_ctl --version
pg_ctl (PostgreSQL) 10.3
mbp-IT002597:~ ethomas$ pg_ctl --help | head -10
pg_ctl is a utility to initialize, start, stop, or control a PostgreSQL server.

Usage:
  pg_ctl init[db] [-D DATADIR] [-s] [-o OPTIONS]
  pg_ctl start    [-D DATADIR] [-l FILENAME] [-W] [-t SECS] [-s]
                  [-o OPTIONS] [-p PATH] [-c]
  pg_ctl stop     [-D DATADIR] [-m SHUTDOWN-MODE] [-W] [-t SECS] [-s]
  pg_ctl restart  [-D DATADIR] [-m SHUTDOWN-MODE] [-W] [-t SECS] [-s]
                  [-o OPTIONS] [-c]
  pg_ctl reload   [-D DATADIR] [-s]

I tried checking the pg_ctl release notes to see if something changed. Couldn't find anything. But putting the optional args before start resulted in an error for me

If you used heroku local you wouldn't need to do this

[zingales]

why this instead of go install && heroku local?

[ethomas2]

just to avoid heroku

[zingales]

this needs to be installed to run locally

• installed on macos.

• I just made the sepereate db because I found it cleaner. I usually keep a database per project/app. So I made a db specifically for cerealnotes so as not to clutter the default db with cerealnotes specific tables.

• I didn't notice .env. You're right that I would've saved a lot of time if I just used heroku local like the README told me to. I'm having trouble finding reasons why I was averse to using heroku local. G and I chatted offline about this, he told me to use heroku local to minimize the differences between local development and prod. Makes sense

closing in favor of #39
