Bug reference:      14727
Logged by:          Roberto Henriques
Email address:      rthomques@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.6.3
Operating system:   MAC OS 10.11..6
Description:

After installing Postgres and running the command in Terminal to be able to
use the path command (psql),
I got this prompt:

ast login: Sun Jul  2 15:27:56 on ttys000
roberto-henriquess-macbook-2:~ thom$ psql
psql (9.6.3)
Type "help" for help.

thom=# createdb mydb
thom-# mydb
thom-# 

The prompt remains in my user name.

Thank for any help.

"createdb" is a shell command; you'd issue that to your shell not to psql.
The equivalent thing to do in psql would be
create database mydb;

(don't forget the semicolon).  Also, once you'd created it, the
way to switch to it within a psql session would be
\c mydb

While we're here, notice the subtle changes in psql's command prompt
--- that indicates that it thinks you're continuing a multiline command.
That's why nothing seems to be happening.  If you'd typed a semicolon
to end the command, you'd have gotten a syntax error of one sort or
another.
