If service psql is inactive only need sudo service postgresql start
Run this command for create user
sudo -u postgres createuser testuser
# For crete db
sudo -u postgres createdb testdb
Now we make setting for nice work with that user and the database
First enter to psql
sudo -u postgres psql
For see all user list you can run \du
when see all user list we cannot see any roles even doesn't exist password for this user , we need add some privileges inside db (postgres)
ALTER USER testuser with encrypted password 'secret';
# If this command run success, message look like this
# ALTER ROLE
grant all privileges on database testdb to testuser;
# GRANT
when list again with \l
the database has attach to new user
