The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Description:
I am at this point in the documentation and I'm told to type a command.
"1.3. Creating a Database
The first test to see whether you can access the database server is to try
to create a database ... To create a new database, in this example named
mydb, you use the following command:
$ createdb mydb"
I know this may sound silly, but "where" am I supposed to type this command?
I'm smart enough to realize that I need a prompt, but in what app or
environment will I find the expected prompt? I started "psql" and get this
prompt:
"Server [localhost]:_"
I don't get a $ prompt, and when I type the createdb command I get no error,
but pgAdmin4 shows no 'mydb' database either.
I think it would be very helpful if the documentation included explicit
steps and screen captures.
Thank you very much,
Chuck Becker
