Yes, that's it - run it at the command prompt.

Run the command anywhere you want.  Just make sure the bit after "-f"
points to the proper location of the .psql file.

Also, be sure you have created your own database before running that
command.  Information on creating databases may be found in the
PostgreSQL documentation.

you'll also probably have to add the parameter -h 127.0.0.1

psql defaults to connecting to the local machine unless you tell it
otherwise, so this is redundant; though it certainly won't do any harm
either.

Not redundent.  Unless something has changed, psql's default connection
method is via unix socket 5432 and this socket does not exist on
windows. The -h is required to have psql connect to the network socket
which is available on windows.

Oh? Well, on my XP laptop, the following -

    psql -U postgres

- connects without problems to the "postgres" database. Of course, there
*is* the following line in pg_hba.conf -

   host    all         all        127.0.0.1/32          md5

- which was there from installation time.

Yes, on platforms that don't support Unix sockets (such as Win32), it will
default to localhost.

Yes, it's set by the win32 installer by default.

Cool.  I'll have to check the pg_hba.conf on my windows system and see
what it has in it.  My windows box is running either 8.0.x or 8.1.x.
Has this setting always been this way for the windows installer?

As far as I can remember, it has - and I think it's been that way for
source-code installations too, in recent versions at least, though I'm
open to correction on this.
