I'm starting a 1-hour-a-day challenge to become a Database pro from scratch. Today was all about "The Foundation" and setting up a professional environment.
The Stack
- Terminal: Warp (Classic Mode)
- Package Manager: Homebrew
-
Monitoring:
htop(Essential for tracking DB performance)
💻 Commands Used Today
Below are the steps I took to initialize my lab:
Installing Homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
System monitoring setup
brew install htop
sudo htop
Installing the Database Engine
brew install postgresql
postgres --version
💡 Key Takeaway
I tweaked my htop configuration to show All CPU cores (1/1 view). Why? Because understanding how PostgreSQL interacts with my hardware is just as important as writing queries.
