PostgreSQL: command not found


When you say "going to", it sounds like you're using the cd command to change to that directory. Something like:

$ cd /opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin$ psqlpsql: command not found

Normally on Unix systems, the current directory is not part of your executable search path. So either explicitly execute psql from the current directory using ./:

$ cd /opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin$ ./psql

or, add the directory to your PATH:

$ export PATH=/opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin:$PATH$ psql


I had installed postgres (Mac,The capitan SO) with the dmg and also I got the same issue. I had to install psql through brew. Try with this :

brew install postgres

This worked for me.


Try this command:

find / -name psql
