Okay so I reboot the system so even tho I have no idea what could of been the hang up, that is for now resolved. I started it up and its complaining about a password not being supplied. I will re go over the docs you have here but I guess its worth noting that I am trying to use postgresql 10.2 -- perhaps that is a no go. I would prefer to use it but if not I will look into installing the version used in the documentation here.
