Dear Moderator,
I sent the earlier comment (attached below).
pl note some changes are needed:
/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/createdb test
/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/psql test
I would appreciate if you could update those two lines.
Basically, on debian systems, the executable files are not stored in /usr/local/pgsql/bin but at
/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/instead.
Many Thanks
.kwang.

On Debian Systems, the "short version" of the setup above should use the following, including the different
directories.
to install the package
apt-get update
apt-get install postgresql
initialize the database system
su
su - postgres
/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/postgres/data
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
that's it. once running, you can use it, e.g.
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql test
