I'm not kidding you.  Of course, if your distro sucks, it might
not be easy, but on FreeBSD, I do
make install; /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql initdb; /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql start

If you need a video to get you through that, you're not going to
be much help as a patch tester anyway ...

Have you even tried installing it?  You're criticizing quite a
bit, but I'm not seeing any first-hand description, just a
baseless dismissal.
