→Using PostgreSQL on Gramps
Make sure that you have installed your PostgreSQL Addon.
In Gramps "select {{man menu|Edit/> Preferences/}} from the menu and then select the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Family_Tree|Family Tree" menu item]]}} tab, select the "{{man label|PostgreSQL" }} entry for "{{man label|Database backend":}}. That should allow you to enter the "{{man label|Host" }} and "{{man label|Port" }} settings. If you have the PostgreSQL server installed on the same machine as Gramps, you use "<code>localhost" </code> or "<code>127.0.0.1" </code> as your host name. If you are using a remote server, use that server's ip address or name. The default "port" for PostgreSQL is "5432", use that or the port configured for your PostgreSQL server.
Use the Gramps Family Tree Manager to create a new tree, it must have the same name as the one you created on the server.
When you try to open the tree, it will ask you for the user name and password, there these are the same values used in the <code>createuser</code> command above.
At this point, you should be able to use Gramps normally.
