Some steps were missing, for a complete installation of PostgreSQL on Windows:

  • The installer doesn't add psql to PATH. I've added a step of doing this using the Command Prompt (I think it's easier to explain than the GUI way... what do you think?).
  • psql needs explicit username and password to start, so psql -U <username> -W is needed.
  • psycopg2 needs a compiler to pip-install. I've added a suggestion to use https://github.com/nwcell/psycopg2-windows instead. Is that all right?
