First you should install PostgreSQL and PgAdmin

After installing this thing you will have to add some pic of code ( to connect PostgreSQL to your rails project ) in your project config/database.yml file (before add PostgreSQL code you will have to remove all Sqlite3 code from config/database.yml file).

development:
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  database: database_name
  pool: 5
  host: localhost
  username: your_PostgreSQL_username
  password: your_PostgreSQL_password

test:
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  database: database_name
  pool: 5
  username: your_PostgreSQL_username
  password: your_PostgreSQL_password

staging:
  url: <%= ENV['DATABASE_URL'] %>

production:
 url: <%= ENV['DATABASE_URL'] %>

postgres is default username and password in PostgreSQL database\

after add this pic of code you have to add one line of code in your rails project root directory in Gemfile

gem ‘pg’

and you must have to remove sqlite3 code from Gemfile ( gem 'sqlite3', '~> 1.4' )before adding gem 'pg'

Removed host from development config in database.yml,its worked for me.

development:  
      adapter: postgresql
      database: tes
      pool: 5
      timeout: 5000
      username: postgres
      password: root
