Setting up flask app in heroku with a database

The below article will cover the intricacies of setting up databases and heroku in respect to a flask app. This is more like a memo and will have out of sequence instructions or solutions to errors so read thoroughly.

Setting up a database

You'll need the packages

This gist I write, because I couldn't find step by step instructions 
how to install and start postgresql locally (using conda within a conda environment - with the result
that you can run it without sudo/admin rights on your machine!)
and not globally in the operating system (which requires sudo/admin rights on that machine).

I hope, this will help especially people new to postgresql (and those who don't have sudo/admin rights on a specific machine but want
to run postgresql there)!
