Please note this procedure is intended for technical people wanting to configure iDempiere to run in Eclipse, there is an easier mechanism on the installers to create the database.

Let's check the steps to create an idempiere postgres database:

Set a password for the postgres user

sudo su - postgres
psql -U postgres -c "ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'TheSystemPassword'"
exit

WARNING: Of course this is an insecure password, it is recommended that you set up a proper password for this user account. You need this password for the instructions below

Run console-setup-alt.sh to initialize the parameters

cd $HOME/sources/idempiere/org.idempiere.p2/target/products/org.adempiere.server.product/linux/gtk/x86_64
bash console-setup-alt.sh
# answer all questions from this program, you can choose here database name, etc, take care of the two passwords:
  Database Password [adempiere]:
    answer this question with your desired password for the adempiere user
  Database System User Password []:
    TheSystemPassword  <- answer this question with the password you set on the previous step
# at the end the program must have generated two files, move them:
mv idempiere.properties .idpass $HOME/sources/idempiere

Import the database

cd $HOME/sources/idempiere
bash RUN_ImportIdempiereDev.sh

The last command must import the database and apply all the migration scripts.

-'''NOTE:''' It is possible that you will confront problems related to pg_hba.conf configuration (/etc/postgresql/{version}/main/pg_hba.conf), it's beyond the scope of this tutorial to solve those problems at this moment, please check and configure proper permissions.  Also, this tutorial is intended to work on a postgres installed locally, if your postgres is elsewhere you must use corresponding -h (host) and -p (port) parameters for createdb and psql. If you receive the error '''createdb: could not connect to database template1: FATAL:  Peer authentication failed for user "adempiere"''' you might be able to add '''-h localhost''' to resolve quickly. For a more permanent solution visit [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18664074/getting-error-peer-authentication-failed-for-user-postgres-when-trying-to-ge stackoverflow].
+The last command must import the database and apply all the migration scripts.
-'''NOTE:''' createdb will use default collate of OS. some condition it's bad.
-I experiment use Thailand text on db with collate=en_US, it very slow on operator
+'''NOTE:''' See [[Talk:Importing_DB_Seed_Manually|Discussion]] tab for additional notes.
-for that case full command is
-  createdb --template=template0 -E UNICODE -O adempiere -U adempiere -E UNICODE --lc-collate "th_TH.utf8" --lc-ctype "th_TH.utf8" idempiere
-but one day i get error about wrong collate with th_TH.utf8 when run this command. bellow is how to fix

-  locale -a # list current support collate of OS
-  sudo apt-get install locales
-  sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
-== Installing UUID (required to apply some migration scripts) ==
-Some migration scripts references the function generate_uuid, unfortunately the way to install this is different on different postgres versions, so we were not able to include it by default on the DB seed, next are the instructions per version:
-* Remember from the prerequisites you must have installed postgresql-contrib to make the generate_uuid function to work
-* Run the command CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp" using psql
-** psql -d idempiere -U adempiere -c 'CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp"'
-== Import the seed ==
- cd /tmp
- jar xvf $IDEMPIERE_REPOSITORY/org.adempiere.server-feature/data/seed/Adempiere_pg.jar
- psql -d idempiere -U adempiere -f Adempiere_pg.dmp
