Since you didn't specify a host, it's looking on your local
machine. What happens if you run?:
psql -h app01 test
You can look at the connection options by running:
psql --help
... or by reading the docs:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/app-psql.html
... or by using the man page, if available.
By the way, I believe that most server distributions include all
the client software, but you could probably find a client-only
package on most platforms.
