+Create a PostgreSQL user **with the same name as your username** in order to avoid using the *postgres* user.
+Then, we can create the databases (if they don't already exist):
+
+```
+$ sudo -u postgres createuser you_username --createdb
+$ createdb -O peertube peertube_test{1,2,3}
 ```

+Build the application and flush the old tests data:

+```
+$ npm run build
 $ npm run clean:server:test

+This will run 3 nodes:

 $ npm run play

 Then you will get access to the three nodes at `http://localhost:900{1,2,3}`
 with the `root` as username and `test{1,2,3}` for the password.
