Problem in starting pgagent after installation in ubuntu

Hi Community, 

The below is the link I'm following to install pgagent. My doubt is does
pgagent look for an already installed pgadmin? Else can it be installed
separately?

The below is the error I'm facing while trying to run the pgAgent daemon. 

--While I have given hostaddr as localhost
root@pgdbsrv2:~/backups# pgagent hostaddr=localhost dbname=postgres
user=postgres

version: 3. Version 4 is required - please run pgagent_upgrade.sql. 

And when I type "which pgagent" it is showing as /usr/bin/pgagent 

Could you please help me where I'm heading wrong?  Looking forward to hear
from you. 

Regards, 
Pavan
