Tell us what’s happening:

psql --username=freecodecamp --dbname=postgres - need to complete this step but it’s giving the following error:

psql: error: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user “freecodecamp”

I’m not sure why this is giving me errors and previously when trying echo hello PostgreSQL, it was not smooth sailing from there. I only managed to get pass there by resetting and then that step disappeared and on to this one.

try the following steps:

click the Reset button
wait for it to finish
close the terminal
open a new bash terminal

[CocoKB]

I’ve done this plenty of times and no change

[hbar1st]

can I see a screen shot of your workspace after you’ve followed the steps above?

[CocoKB]

no problem

The green color of the prompt tells me something went wrong with the setup of the environment.

Is this your first course? Do you want to try to delete the docker image and try to set it up again? I can provide instructions.

[CocoKB]

This is my first course where I have to set something up like this, I followed all the instructions given by the curriculum but yes please.

[CocoKB]

Also, can you please explain going from here forward, I completed the bash by building a boilerplate and I know when doing the project the visual was different to the screenshot above (light blue) but when I try CodeRoad: Start It wouldn’t allow me to create it in the current folder showing there.

please read my post

Periodic Table Database - Build a Periodic Table Database

if you want to restart or start a new tutorial, I have some steps that can help you do that but they assume you have wsl2 installed (its the linux virtual machine on windows). If you don’t have wsl2 installed, you can still use my instructions but you should translate them to work on windows powershell (for example some commands like rm -rf would not work on powershell)

It works, thank you!
