So you are using an RPM-based distribution.

To list the installed packages, run

  rpm -qa | grep postgresql

They should include the "server" package and the "contrib" package.

If you cannot "find" some PostgreSQL commands like "pg_archivecleanup",
it is also conceivable that they are not on your PATH, and that you need
to invoke them with their absolute path, like

  /usr/pgsql-18/bin/pg_archivecleanup

(This example assumes PostgreSQL v18.)
