I *guess* (since you say "querry") that you are already on the "psql"
prompt when you enter "createdb db_name", which won't work, since that
is a shell command. The $ at the beginning of the line should give
you that clue.
That would also explain why "create database db_name;" works for you,
because that is an SQL statement.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe

As noted here that $ means you need to be at the OS shell to execute
createdb.
