Newbie: problem Connecting to Server

From

I'm running Redhat Linux 8. I have registration to the Redhat Network so
I'm probably running the latest version of postgre sql available. I also
have Redhat Databse v2.1 installed, but whenever I try to start a session,
I get the following error message:

psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory       Is the server running locally and accepting
connectionson Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
 

Please help me configure my system so that I can connect and begin to use
postgresql.
