Message after installing

Please install PostgreSQL client/server (databases/postgresqlXX-client
and databases/postgresqlXX-server) separately. The latest 9.x version
is recommended but any version newer than 9.1.0 should work.

To set up the database and generate a configuration file, run
/usr/local/libexec/aox/installer as root. The new configuration file will be in
/usr/local/etc/archiveopteryx/archiveopteryx.conf.

/usr/local/libexec/aox/installer -n shows what it would do, without making any
changes. (If you are just upgrading from an older version,
/usr/local/bin/aox upgrade schema may be enough.
/usr/local/bin/aox upgrade schema -n shows what it would do, without making
any changes.)

The logfile is syslog/mail by default.
