I have problem with starting PostgreSQL Server on Centos 7. I installed PostgreSQL with this command: yum install postgresql postgresql-contrib. Then I added a user with sudo -i -u postgres command. After that I'm trying to start PostgreSQL Server with psql command and it gives me an error:

    `psql` does not start the server - it connects to an already running server. To start Postgres you need `service postgresql-10 start` (or something similar) – a_horse_with_no_name Jan 11 '18 at 16:11

psql is a terminal-based front-end to PostgreSQL. It enables you to type in queries interactively, issue them to PostgreSQL, and see the query results.

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-pg-ctl.html

pg_ctl - initialize, start, stop, or control a PostgreSQL server
