Trouble running starter

I attempted to follow these instructions to try out Keystone:

$ npm init keystone-app keystone-app
(choose postgres and nuxt app)
$ cd keystone-app
$ yarn start
...
**If this is the first time you've run Keystone, you can create your database with the following command:
createdb keystone_app
✖ Connecting to database
Error: database "keystone_app" does not exist
...

This was my first problem. It was easy enough to run createdb keystone_app but this wasn’t in the instructions. You should probably mention it in the instructions.

I tried again and I ran into Vue errors

Tried running the suggested npm install --save core-js/modules/es6.regexp.to-string core-js/modules/es7.promise.finally core-js/modules/es7.symbol.async-iterator but that failed.

I tried the vanilla javascript “todos” app and this time visited the admin UI. I see an error:

GraphQL error: select "t0".* from "public"."Todo" as "t0" where true order by "name" ASC limit $1 - relation "public.Todo" does not exist GraphQL error: select count(*) from "public"."Todo" as "t0" where true - relation "public.Todo" does not exist

Same problem with Postgres here. The yarn dev command reports it has “Connected to database” but it fails to create any tables in the database. As a result, the application does not work at all.
