After installing PostgreSQL on my Debian-12 machine, I typed 'postgres 
--version' and got this msg:
*bash: postgres: command not found*

'psql --version', however, does work and gives me this message :

*psql (PostgreSQL) 16.3 (Debian 16.3-1.pgdg120+1)*

Obviously postgres is not in the path, but I don't know where the 
'apt-get' installed it or why it did not add it to the path.

Is there a way I can locate the installation directory?

Thank in advance.

As to where the  postgres command is:


ls -al /usr/lib/postgresql/16/bin/

[...]
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10338808 Aug  7 06:13 postgres*
[...]

Why do you want to use postgres directly?

find / -name postgres

or

dpkg-query -L postgresql-16 | grep 'bin/postgres$'

You wouldn't normally invoke the server from the command line, so it
doesn't need to be in anyone's path.
