Error while installing Nominatim

I am following steps given on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Installation to install Nominatim on my system. But while setting up postgresql, when I enter command - sudo service postgresql initdb, I receive an error message: "Missing SERVICE_URI environment variable" I don't understand what value should I set for SERVICE_URI as environment variable. I searched over internet, but couldn't find any solution to it. Please help me with this.

it may be helpful if you would describe what your system is (operating system, version) and if you would cite the full error message.

The message comes from a proprietary tool that is called service. Apparently the poster is my colleague. The correct executable is /sbin/service and the full command should be sudo /sbin/service postgresql initdb

A third-party tool calling itself service? Oh dear...
