Add installation instructions 
- to ensure even an absolute beginner gets a PostgreSQL server up
  and running, the default installation assumes that the student
  first installs VirtualBox with a Ubuntu Desktop machine in it
- on the Ubuntu guest machine, the apt packages postgresql and
  postgresql-contrib are installed first

Intro to SQL & Databases

This project is a thorough introductory course in SQL and databases based on the free and open-source database PostgreSQL (or "Postgres" for short).

Installation

To follow this course, an installation of PostgreSQL 13 or higher is expected. If you know how to do this on your own machine, you may do so at your own discretion. Yet, to ensure that each student has a development environment similar to the instructor's one, follow this extensive installation tutorial and set up a virtual machine with all the required software on it. The estimated time for this should be around one hour.
