Here is what i did on a Ubuntu linux server. I had installed postgres using
apt-get install postgres.
pkumar@ulinux1:~$ sudo su - postgres[sudo] password for pkumar:
postgres@ulinux3:~$ createdb authDBpostgres@ulinux3:~$ createuser -P -l authuser
You have to sudo into postgres or fix your classpath

This is probably a question for the authors of a book I have been reading but
it may be faster to get an answer here. I was trying to follow along in a book
‘Seven Databases in Seven Weeks’ and chapter 2 deals with PostgreSQL. One of
the first things it does is issue a command ‘createdb book’. The text before
this command says, “Once you have Postgres installed, create a schema called
book using the following command: $ createdb book’ But when I tried to issue
this command (at a Linux command prompt) I get ‘createdb command not found’.
Are the authors out of date? What is the current command? Kevin
