When Postgresql complains user does not exist
Raw
gistfile1.txt
This can happen when active directory or someone else installed postgresql without proper right like a sudo brew install postgres instead of a brew install postgres.
To fix you can entirely destroy the db and recreate it with your user:
rm -rf /usr/local/var/postgres && initdb /usr/local/var/postgres -E utf8
