Trying to get Postgres setup in my environment but can’t seem to get permissions to intidb

This should work just fine:

# sudo mkdir /usr/local/var/postgres
# sudo chmod 775 /usr/local/var/postgres
# sudo chown construct /usr/local/var/postgres
# initdb /usr/local/var/postgres

use your username in place of construct. So, if your computer username is WDurant, the code will be:

# sudo chown $(whoami) /usr/local/var/postgres
