The easiest way to get started is to use your package management
system to install PG for you.  If you are on a Fedora/Centos or
similar based system then this is easily accomplished with the 'yum'
command.  The minimal packages to add would likely be :

postgresql-server
postgresql

The latter gives you the 'psql' command line tool.   There are lots of
other fancy things you can add, of course.   You might want to run

yum search postgres | more

and it will give you a list of what is out there with a bit of a
description of each.

As for lists in your language, I do not see anything at :
