Thanks. I don’t know if it was just me but I had to use a lower case d in this line:

createlang plpgsql -U psqluser -D TUTORIAL

Good explanation of the basics. Thank you.

A couple caveats:

1. I needed to use the superuser account to run lwpostgis.sql.

2. Trying to run the output SQL from shp2pgsql using a userid other than the superuser generated an error “permission denied for relation geometry_columns” and failed. I needed to “GRANT ALL ON geometry_columns TO userid” as the superuser before it would work.

this material is excellent to start the conversions from .shp to .sql files
