localhost postgres settings django

This gist I write, because I couldn't find step by step instructions
how to install and start postgresql locally and not globally in the
operating system (which would require sudo).
I hope, this will help especially people new to postgresql!
####################################
# create conda environment
####################################
conda create --name myenv
# enter the environment
conda activate myenv
####################################
# install postgresql via conda
####################################
conda install -y -c conda-forge postgresql
####################################
# create a base database locally
####################################
initdb -D mylocal_db
##############################
# now start the server modus/instance of postgres
##############################
pg_ctl -D mylocal_db -l logfile start
## waiting for server to start.... done
## server started
# now the server is up
####################################
# create a non-superuser (more safety!)
####################################
createuser --encrypted --pwprompt mynonsuperuser
# asks for name and password
####################################
# using this super user, create inner database inside the base database
####################################
createdb --owner=mynonsuperuser myinner_db
####################################
# in this point, if you run some program,
# you connect you program with this inner database
# e.g. Django
####################################
# in django (Python) e.g. you do
nano <mysite>/settings.py # or instead of nano your favorite editor!
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
'NAME': 'myinner_db',
'USER': 'mynonsuperuser',
'PASSWORD': '<mynonsuperuserpassword>',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '',
}
}
# and it is available for django
# so that you can do
##############################
# do with the connected program further steps
##############################
# first install psycopg2
# because django requires this for handling postgresql
conda install -c anaconda psycopg2Postgres Database Django
