+We use PostgreSQL as our database and Diesel as our ORM in this tutorial. You’re free to use whatever you want, but this tutorial is geared
 towards PostgreSQL for the sake of simplicity. We use the following database configuration and tools:
 
+### PostgreSQL Installation
 [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/download/)
+1. `brew install libpq` ([this is a postgres C API library](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/libpq)). Also perform all export commands post-installation
+2. `brew install postgres`
+3. `pg_ctl -D /opt/homebrew/var/postgres start` or `brew services start postgresql`
+4. `/opt/homebrew/bin/createuser -s postgres`
+5. Ensure you're able to do: `psql postgres`
+6. `cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres`
+7. Make sure that you're in the DB folder (run `cd src/db/postgres` from base directory), run `diesel migration run --database-url postgresql://localhost/postgres`
+   a. If for some reason this database is already being used, try a different db. e.g.
+      `DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres@localhost:5432/indexer_v2 diesel database reset`
 
 - We will use a database hosted on `localhost` on the port `5432`, which should be the default.
 - When you create your username, keep track of it and the password you use for it.
