I have been configuring an EC2 instance with postgreSQL according to the steps outlined in this tutorial. I am using AWS Linux 2018-03 and have installed postgres92 via the following:
$ sudo yum install postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-devel postgresql-contrib postgresql-docs
My understanding is that I should be able to directly initialize postgres with:
$ sudo postgresql-setup initdb
as noted in this related question (note: it would appear I need to conduct this step as well, I'm unable to run postgres as a service just yet). However, calls to postgresql-setup return:
sudo: postgresql-setup: command not found
I've also tried a find / postgresql-setup just to see if this is hanging around on the system somewhere, but this turns up nothing. I am unable to start postgres via sudo service postgres ... commands, as the service is not yet recognized. I have confirmed that the service is not running via:
$ sudo service postgres status
which just tells me that the service is unrecognized and I have also checked with a ps -ef | grep postgres, which also turns up nothing.
My question remains, how do I initialize postgres so that it can be recognized as a service given that postgresql-setup cannot be located? Thanks.
