Did you follow the below?:

https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/
"
For RHEL / CentOS / SL / OL 7 or Fedora 27 and later derived distributions:

   postgresql-setup initdb
   systemctl enable postgresql.service
   systemctl start postgresql.service
"

If you did, what user did you do it as?
