-This is the source for xonstatdb, the Xonotic Statistics database.
-All code herein is intended for the PostgreSQL database management server.
-
-To build, first create the user that will own all of the objects in the 
-database. You must run this as an administrator user in your cluster.
-See your operating system's guidelines for how this is set up on 
-your system:
-    
-    create user xonstat with password 'xonstat';
-
-    *Note: please change this password
-
-Next, create the database itself:
-
-    CREATE DATABASE xonstatdb
-      WITH ENCODING='UTF8'
-        OWNER=xonstat
-        CONNECTION LIMIT=-1;
-
-Next, log into the newly created database using the user account
-you just created:
-
-    psql -U xonstat xonstatdb
-
-Create the schema in which all of the xonstat tables will reside:
-
-    CREATE SCHEMA xonstat
-       AUTHORIZATION xonstat;
-
-Create the pgplsql language:
-
-    CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql;
-
-Back in the command shell, navigate to the root directory. 
-Log into the database as the admin user created above and issue 
-the following to build the initial tables:
-
-    \i build/build_full.sql
-
-    *Note: You will see a lot of NOTICE messages. This is normal.

+This is the source for **xonstatdb**, the [Xonotic][xonotic] [Statistics database][xonstat].
+All code herein is intended for the PostgreSQL database management server.
+
+----
+
+To build, first create the user that will own all of the objects in the database.
+You must run this as an administrator user in your cluster.
+See your operating system's guidelines for how this is set up on your system.
+
+    create user xonstat with password 'xonstat';
+
+   *Note: please change this password*
+
+Or from the commandline:
+
+    # su - postgres  (as root)
+    postgres$ createuser -P xonstat  (this will prompt you for the users password)
+
+Next, create the database itself:
+
+    $ psql
+    postgres=#
+
+    CREATE DATABASE xonstatdb
+      WITH ENCODING='UTF8'
+        OWNER=xonstat
+        CONNECTION LIMIT=-1;
+
+    postgres=# \q
+
+Next, as your regular system user, log into the newly created database
+using the user account you just created.
+Do this from the root directory of your project checkout.
+
+    $ psql -U xonstat xonstatdb
+
+You might need to force postgres to not use ident, if you get an error
+like *Peer authentication failed for user "xonstat"*:
+
+    $ psql -h localhost -U xonstat xonstatdb
+
+Create the schema in which all of the xonstat tables will reside:
+
+    xonstatdb=>
+    
+    CREATE SCHEMA xonstat
+        AUTHORIZATION xonstat;
+
+Create the pgplsql language, if it doesn't exist:
+
+    CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql;
+
+Now load the initial tables:
+
+    \i build/build_full.sql
+
+   *Note: You will see a lot of NOTICE messages. This is normal.*
+
+And that's it!
