I have tried to install the latest strapi version with the following command:

npx create-strapi-app@latest strapi_test

After going through the manual steps and choosing postgres as my db, from within my folder I run the yarn develop command, but then I get the following error:

debug: ⛔️ Server wasn't able to start properly.

error: database "strapi_test" does not exist

What have I done wrong? I am running node v16.13.0, npm v8.2.0 and on Mac OS Monterey v12.2.1

Had the same problem, turns out you need to create the database yourself with psql. So you need to run:

psql -U postgres

create database strapi_test;

It should work correctly after this.
