Typically installing postgres to your OS creates an "initial DB" and starts the
postgres server daemon running. If not then you'll need to run initdb

Trying to follow documentation. I  installed RPM’s but unable to connect to server…

CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)

 

Package postgresql10-10.2-1PGDG.rhel7.x86_64 already installed and latest version

Package postgresql10-server-10.2-1PGDG.rhel7.x86_64 already installed and latest version

 

# su - postgres

-bash-4.2$ psql

psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory

        Is the server running locally and accepting

        connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

 

There are no files under /var/run/post*

 

What am I missing here?
