So I’m new to diesel and postgreSQL and I’m doing a first time install of both running the diesel getting started tutorial. I’ve installed the lasted version or postgreSQL and diesel. When I run diesel setup it finishes with “authentication method 10 not supported”. and doesn’t create the database. What’s the solution for this issue? Thanks

You need to use a database url that is compatible with the authentication methods supported by your postgres instance or you need to configure a compatible authentication method on server side. As this is not diesel related have a look into the corresponding postgres documentation: [https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-pg-hba-conf.html](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-pg-hba-conf.html)
