+ Before you can use <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> you need
+ to install it, of course. It is possible that
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> is already installed at your
+ site, either because it was included in your operating system
+ distribution or because the system administrator already installed
+ it. If that is the case, you should obtain information from the
+ operating system documentation or your system administrator about
+ how to access <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>.
+ </p><p>
+ If you are not sure whether <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>
+ is already available or whether you can use it for your
+ experimentation then you can install it yourself. Doing so is not
+ hard and it can be a good exercise.
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> can be installed by any
+ unprivileged user; no superuser (<span class="systemitem">root</span>)
+ access is required.
+ </p><p>
+ If you are installing <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>
+ yourself, then refer to <a class="xref" href="installation.html" title="Chapter 17. Installation from Source Code">Chapter 17</a>
+ for instructions on installation, and return to
+ this guide when the installation is complete. Be sure to follow
+ closely the section about setting up the appropriate environment
+ variables.
+ </p><p>
+ If your site administrator has not set things up in the default
+ way, you might have some more work to do. For example, if the
+ database server machine is a remote machine, you will need to set
+ the <code class="envar">PGHOST</code> environment variable to the name of the
+ database server machine. The environment variable
+ <code class="envar">PGPORT</code> might also have to be set. The bottom line is
+ this: if you try to start an application program and it complains
+ that it cannot connect to the database, you should consult your
+ site administrator or, if that is you, the documentation to make
+ sure that your environment is properly set up. If you did not
+ understand the preceding paragraph then read the next section.
