OS X - Setup Postgres for Phoenix - 21 Jul 2016
Here’s a quick guide for setting up postgres to work with Phoenix. The first step is installing postgres through homebrew.
brew install postgresql
After that’s finished, you’ll need to run the setup command while specifying the utf8 encoding.
initdb /usr/local/var/postgres -E utf8
Once that’s complete you can start/restart postgres through the services command.
brew services restart postgresql
The final step is creating your default postgres user.
createuser -s postgres
You can now successfuly run mix ecto.create
assuming you have the following
config in config/devs.exs
.
config :api, Api.Repo,
adapter: Ecto.Adapters.Postgres,
username: "postgres",
database: "api_dev",
hostname: "localhost",
pool_size: 10
Feel free to replace the database option with something specific to your project.
