I&#x27;d love to hear what issues you&#x27;re facing (if you can remember any specifics). Its been a long time since I first installed PostgreSQL, but I also recall some difficulties. Some things have improved since (eg. it&#x27;s no longer necessary to change shared memory kernel parameters) but some things are still pretty difficult (eg. correctly configuring pg_hba.conf).<p>Other things are just confusing to newcomers (eg. different meanings of the term &quot;database&quot; between MySQL and Postgres, or understanding schemas and search_path).
