-The Marten library provides .Net developers with the ability to use the proven [Postgresql database engine](http://www.postgresql.org/) and its [fantastic JSON support](https://www.compose.io/articles/is-postgresql-your-next-json-database/) as a fully fledged [document database](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document-oriented_database). The Marten team believes that a document database has far reaching benefits for developer productivity over relational databases with or without an ORM tool.

 Before getting started you will need the following in your environment:
 
-* Access to a Postgresql **9.5+** database.
-* An environment variable of `marten_testing_database` set to the connection string for the database you want to use as a testbed. (See the [Npgsql documentation](http://www.npgsql.org/doc/connection-string-parameters.html) for more information about postgresql connection strings )
-* You will also need to enable the PLV8 extension inside of Postgresql for running Javascript stored procedures for the nascent projection support. See
