Hello, 

Unfortunately I'm unable to operate pgAdmin/PostgreSQL; first of all I can only install version 9.5 (tried versions 11, 10, and 9.6 -- but cannot install).

How come.  (Are you running a really old distro version?)

When I launch pgAdmin in order to try to use PostgreSGL 9.5, here is the full text of the error message I receive (also, screenshot attached):

could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) Is the server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

Well, is Postgres running?  You installed Pg but did you start it?  These two commands will tell you:

pg_ctl status # when logged in as user postgres
sudo netstat -an | grep 5432

By default???

Hello,

You must be check postgres.conf file in order to see the particular port.

Sometimes postgres is running but in another port 5433, 5434, etc.
