If you had the server actually running, then you should be able to create
a database using the createdb command.

Probably you want to run createuser first to create a postgres user name
matching your normal account name that has the right to create databases.

When you run createuser you will want to use the -U command to run the command
as the postgres user 'postgres' (or whatever user ran initdb).
