Slide 1:	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Installation of PostgreSQL.
Slide 2a: Learning Objectives	In this tutorial we will learn to install PostgreSQL on Ubuntu Linux OS and Windows operating system
Slide 2b: Learning Objectives	We will also learn to Connect to PostgreSQL database and Set password for the database
Slide 3: System requirement	To record this tutorial, I am using Ubuntu Linux 14.04 operating system and Windows 7 operating system and a working Internet connection
Slide 4: Pre-requisites	To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with either of the mentioned operating system and have working knowledge of any programming language.
Slide 5: What is PostgreSQL?	PostgreSQL is a relational database management software. It is a powerful and most advanced open source database system. It runs on various platforms such as Linux, Windows and Mac OS.

We can execute SQL statements, manage database objects etc.	Psql is an interactive terminal program provided by PostgreSQL. Using psql tool, we can execute SQL statements, manage database objects etc.,
Slide 7: Connect to PostgreSQL database using pgAdmin pgAdmin is a GUI application. Interact with PostgreSQL database server through this user interface. Demonstration of all features using pgAdmin in this series.	Another way to connect to a database is using pgAdmin GUI application. We can interact with PostgreSQL database server through this interface. We will be demonstrating all features using pgAdmin in this series.
	Switch back to terminal. Let us again connect to the postgreSQL database from the command line.
Type psql -U postgres -h localhost -W and press Enter.	For this, type sudo psql hyphen capital U postgres hyphen h localhost hyphen capital W and press Enter to connect to the server. hyphen h is the hostname or IP of the local server.
