User Account

Note: If you set the config file to createuser = 1 a user will be created. Local only

Postgres

Note: If running non-interactively the installation may fail due to Postgres needing to write to a location that doesn't yet exist. In order to resolve this consider creating an environment variable (PGPASSWORD) with the password of the Super User. This is commented out in the code.
