Well the tutorial is geared to using the command line to run programs.

Are you comfortable with the command line or would you prefer to use a GUI like pgAdmin?

I just learned about phpPGAdmin and installed it as well. But when I
navigate to localhost/phppgadmin, I get a "not found" error message.

    So lets backup up a bit:

    1) What OS are you on?

    2) How did you install Postgres?

    3) What version of Postgres?
    Hope it is not 8.0 implied by the doc link above.
