Adding A Flatiron Customization To Your Terminal

Start out by making a backup for your .bashrc
```
mv .bashrc .bashrc.bak
```
We will want a tool for converting Windows endings to Unix endings for our new .bashrc
```
sudo apt-get install dos2unix
```

download the new .bashrc

curl -R "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flatiron-school/dotfiles/master/.bashrc-windows" >> $HOME/.bashrc

We'll use our converter to convert our bashrc to use the right unix endings:
```
dos2unix .bashrc
```

How to start PGsql Postgres server

Try directly using:

sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start

else:

pgrep -u postgres -fa -- -D

How to start Postgres
There again are several ways to start Postgres. If you’re running a Debian-based distribution, you should find the perl wrappers pretty handy.

For Debian or Debian-based (including Ubuntu) Linux distributions
First, issue pg_lsclusters to find out your cluster name:

pg_lsclusters

Ver Cluster Port Status Owner Data directory Log file 12 main 5432 online postgres /var/lib/postgresql/12/main /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-12-main.log

To start that particular cluster, you just need to issue:

pg_ctlcluster <Version> <Name> start

So, in our example, it will be:

pg_ctlcluster 12 main start

if that gives an error, use:

sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start

may need to then run:
584 rake db:drop 586 rake db:create 587 rake db:migrate 588 rake db:seed
