 1. Download the latest release of `postgresql`
 2. Put `postgresql` on your `PATH`
 3. Navigate to a directory you want your database data stored (ie. `~/doltgresql`).
-4. Run `doltgresql`. This will create a `doltgres` user and a `doltgres` database.
-5. Open a new terminal. Connect with the following command: `psql -h localhost -U doltgres`. This will connect to the `doltgres` database with the `doltgres` user.
-6. Create database. Create tables.
+```bash
+$ mkdir ~/doltgresql
+$ cd ~/doltgresql
+```
+5. Run `doltgresql`. This will create a `doltgres` user and a `doltgres` database.
+```bash
+$ doltgresql  
+Successfully initialized dolt data repository.
+Starting server with Config HP="localhost:5432"|T="28800000"|R="false"|L="info"|S="/tmp/mysql.sock"

+8. Create a `getting_started` database. Create the `getting _started` example tables.
 ```sql
-create database getting_started;
-use getting_started;
