PostgreSQL version: 9.5.6
Operating system: Fedora 25
Description:
I've installed (what I downloaded as PG9.6) PG9.5.6 onto Fedora 25. All
seemed to go OK, but when I went to test 'CREATEDB" I received the
following:
"createdb: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: role
"my-Fedora-username" does not exist".
I tried to follow the instructions in the PG User Manual - NOTHING
WORKED!!

PostgreSQL itself only documents source code installation. Distros are responsible for their own setups, decisions, and documentation.
