        ...I get ‘createdb command not found’.
          Are the authors out of date? What is the current command?
           
          
      The instructions start with "Once you have Postgres installed...".

      Since the command is not available, you don't have Postgres
      installed.

    
    This is not correct. What it means is that the command you typed is
    not in your search path or aliased in some way. The command may very
    well be available elsewhere (see my earlier post in the thread for
    an example of where Ubuntu places things).

     
      $ which createdb

      /usr/bin/createdb

      $ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/createdb

      postgresql-9.1.6-1.fc17.x86_64

      
    Useful on rpm-based distros but I believe the OP is running a
    Debian-derivative which uses apt.
