I've been trying to do this for several hours and each time I try I end up further and further from what I'm trying to do.

First up I got it installed from the command line in seconds and configured a password. However, pgadmin would not let me set up a server as it rejected my password every time. I tried changing it three times but it just wasn't having any of it. I wiped everything and started again. Same thing. On the third attempt things started to get worse and no amount of googling the various errors brought any resolution.

On a new clean install now and I'm stuck at this stage:
postgresql postgresql-contrib installed

createdb gives me Error: You must install at least one postgresql-client-<version> package.
postgresql-client-9.3 is installed

Any quick and easy steps to completely clean this up and start afresh with a working postgres server and create a database? This should be trivial but at every step I get insoluble errors.
