Quick Guide: Setting up Local Test Server and PostgreSQL (native install)

This guide walks you through the essential steps to quickly set up the Clarify local test server environment using a standard PostgreSQL installation. Note that this approach is not recommended for production environments.

Step 1: Install PostgreSQL 16

Download and install PostgreSQL 16 from the official site: https://www.postgresql.org/download/

During installation, note your chosen superuser password — you'll need it in the next step.

Step 2: Create the Clarify Database

Once PostgreSQL is running, open a terminal (or psql) and run:

CREATE DATABASE ebi4; 
CREATE USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'extol'; 
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE ebi4 TO postgres;

This creates the required database with:

• Database: ebi4
• User: postgres
• Password: extol
• Port: 5432 (default)

Confirm PostgreSQL is running and accessible on port 5432 before proceeding.

Step 3: Launch the Local Test Server from the Clarify Studio 

Refer to steps (1 and 2) to select and start local test.
