In normal operations, the datanommer consumer daemon will be running somewhere and continuously stuff each new fedmsg message that it sees into a postgres DB. If you're just sitting down to hack on datagrepper, that won't be your situation so you'll need a dump of the database.

Note

If you've tried installing postgres before and think you've messed it up, you'll need to blow away the old databases with $ rm -rf /var/lib/pgsql

Install postgres (and fedmsg, while we're at it):

$ sudo yum install -y postgresql-server fedmsg
$ sudo postgresql-setup initdb

Make sure postgres is set to allow connections over tcp/ip using password authentication. Edit the /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf. You might find a line like this:

host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            ident

Instead of that line, you need one that looks like this:

host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
