如何在Fedora PostgreSQL中初始化initdb

Question

I was installed postgresql on fedora 20 using rpm packages. i was manually downloaded the packages which were required for postgres those packages are as follows:

libxslt-1.1.28-5.fc20.x86_64.rpm postgresql-9.3.1-2.fc20.x86_64.rpm postgresql93-9.3.4-1PGDG.f20.x86_64.rpm postgresql93-contrib-9.3.4-1PGDG.f20.x86_64.rpm postgresql93-libs-9.3.4-1PGDG.f20.x86_64.rpm postgresql93-server-9.3.4-1PGDG.f20.x86_64.rpm postgresql-libs-9.3.1-2.fc20.x86_64.rpm uuid-1.6.2-26.el7.x86_64.rpm

and i was installed those packages like this.

[root@fedorarpmpostgres ~]# rpm -ivh libxslt-1.1.28-5.fc20.x86_64.rpm 

Output

Preparing...                          ################################# [100%]

    package libxslt-1.1.28-5.fc20.x86_64 is already installed

so its already installed ok now i'm successfull in stalling all this packages. now how can i 
install initdb

i  tried like this way but i got this error.

[root@fedorarpmpostgres ~]# /usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/initdb --encoding=UTF8 --

Output:

pgdata=/var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/

initdb: cannot be run as root


Please log in (using, e.g., "su") as the (unprivileged) user that will
own the server process.

one thing i was to inform you is i'm success in installing postgres through yum but i need postgres installation through rpm only like the way i did above

could any body help me how to initialize initdb.

Thanks.

使用root用户，如果您尚未设置postgres用户密码（默认情况下未设置），请执行su postgres，您应该可以执行initdb。
