1. Login to postgres as postgres.

psql -U postgres

create database jqm template template1;

create user jqm with password 'jqm';

Creating nodes

• Most operations are communicated to JQM either using the provided jqm.sh script or the Admin console (described below).
• Nodes are created in JQM using the call ./jqm.sh createnode.
• To specify the name of the node the global variable JQM_NODE must be set (otherwise a default name is used, which is typically the current user login-name).

export JQM_NODE=<NODE_NAME>

./jqm.sh createnode
