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.

Hi Arbol,

You can try from the following commands:

dpkg-query -L postgresql-16
which psql
sudo find / -name "postgres" 2>/dev/null

Hi Arbol,

Hope above response from Usman must have resolved your issue. You may also
try by finding any  binary of PostgreSQL. e.g.

 find /usr -name pg_ctl
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl
/usr/lib/postgresql/16/bin/pg_ctl

Regards,
Ikram

Hi Arbol

Use this command and it will show all the files installed by the package.

dpkg-query -L postgresql-16
