Flask login with PostgreSQL ============================ DEPENDENCY LISTS HERE DO HAVE UNNECESSARY PACKAGES AND PACKAGES WHICH DO NOT EXIST. It should be good enough to get this working (irnore warnings about missing packages), but the dependencies in this text should be corrected. :: https://itnext.io/sqlalchemy-orm-connecting-to-postgresql-from-scratch-create-fetch-update-and-delete-a86bc81333dc Install PostgreSQL ******************* :: sudo apt-get install libllvm10 libpq-dev libpq5 libwxbase3.0-0v5 libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5 sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-12 postgresql-client sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-12 postgresql-client-common postgresql-common sudo apt-get install postgresql-doc postgresql-doc-12 sysstat sudo apt-get install postgresql-contrib Note: pgadmin 3 has been obsoleted, use pgdmin 4. Run script "sudo apt.postgresql.org.sh" to add repository, then "sudo apt-get install pgadmin4". Postgre daemon can be started and stopped.
