Well after installing the discourse local development for ubuntu and running the `rails db:create` and `rails db:migrate`, I ran the server `rails s`

Then I went into discourse localhost and created a category with my admin account

After that I logged into pgadmin and within the `discourse_development` database I opened the `categories` table, and there was my new category with an id of 3 (I think) - I just changed that id to 78 and saved
