Are you familiar with Docker? In my opinion, that's the easiest way to get
started with PostGIS and pgRouting. Using the starefossen/pgrouting image,
start Postgres like so:

$ docker run --name pg -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d
starefossen/pgrouting

That will run in the background, at which point you can connect using psql
like this:

$ docker exec -it pg psql -U postgres

You won't have any data in your database, but PostGIS+pgRouting are
otherwise ready to go. Do you have a dataset you want to use?

(Of course if you don't already know Docker, this might just make the
rabbit hole deeper.)
