Please help
PT4 should offer to install PostgreSQL for you if it isn't already installed.
If you skipped that part PT4 won't be able to run so you will need to let it install PostgreSQL.
If PT4 does not offer to install PostgreSQL that suggests that it has previously been installed
If you already have PostgreSQL installed you can enter the port number and password that you already use and PT4 will probably be able to use that version.
There can be complications with some versions though, so if that is the case please open a
Support Ticket and one of our support technicians will advise you.
If you do not have PostgreSQL installed please visit
this page to download the appropriate PostgreSQL 12.x installer for your computer. (Currently v12 is our recommended version, and the latest that PT4 supports.)
Once the installer has downloaded, run it.
You can click 'Next' through most of the steps, but:
On the Select Components page de-select 'Stack Builder'.
On the Password page enter 'dbpass' as the password.
On the Port page use the default of 5432.
