1. where is postres installed?

   Arbol One <arbolone@hotmail.ca> — 2024-08-23T00:35:39Z

   After installing PostgreSQL on my Debian-12 machine, I typed 'postgres 
   --version' and got this msg:
   *bash: postgres: command not found*
   
   'psql --version', however, does work and gives me this message :
   
   *psql (PostgreSQL) 16.3 (Debian 16.3-1.pgdg120+1)*
   
   Obviously postgres is not in the path, but I don't know where the 
   'apt-get' installed it or why it did not add it to the path.
   
   Is there a way I can locate the installation directory?
   
   Thank in advance.

   Hi Arbol,
   
   You can try from the following commands:
   
   dpkg-query -L postgresql-16
   which psql
   sudo find / -name "postgres" 2>/dev/null

   Hi Arbol,
   
   Hope above response from Usman must have resolved your issue. You may also
   try by finding any  binary of PostgreSQL. e.g.
   
    find /usr -name pg_ctl
   /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl
   /usr/lib/postgresql/16/bin/pg_ctl
   
   Regards,
   Ikram

   Hi Arbol
   
   Use this command and it will show all the files installed by the package.
   
   dpkg-query -L postgresql-16
