PgAdmin is a administration tool - the actual database server is 
different altogether, and as you've seen, needs to be installed 
separately. It looks as if you're on Debian or a Debian-based 
distribution, so to install PostgreSQL itself you'll need to do 
something like:

     sudo apt install postgresql-17

...or whatever version is available. I'd strongly recommend using the 
community apt repo - see the instructions here:

   https://apt.postgresql.org

HTH,

Ray.
