Setting up pgTAP on your development server

Currently, Evergreen pgTAP tests expect a version of pgTAP (0.93) that is not yet available in the packages for most Linux distributions. Therefore, you will have to install pgTAP from source as follows:

Download, make, and install pgTAP on your database server. pgTAP can be downloaded from http://pgxn.org/dist/pgtap/ and the instructions for building and installing the extension are available from http://pgtap.org/documentation.html
Create the pgTAP extension in your Evergreen database. Using psql, connect to your Evergreen database and then issue the command:
```
CREATE EXTENSION pgtap;
```
