Postgres does not create role

Question

I have installed postgres via brew. However, after running rake db:create I get error

role 'posgres' does not exist

I can not run psql as role of my user does not exist, which is logical, but I can not login with -u postgres either. Any suggestions, how to create postgres user ?

It seems like the service is not running / turned on after instal.

Documentation reference: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/server-start.html

Then perform initdb /[data location]

Then you will need to sudo to postgres user (the service user) to issue commands to the database.
