Re: Fwd: postgres instalation

While you installing PostgreSQL via Source then by default it will contain only (Bin, lib, include, share) if you want to install the documentation (HTML and man pages)
 use following command:-

make install-docs.

When you did the original build did you do make world or just make?

Installing the Files
Note

If you are upgrading an existing system be sure to read Section 18.6 which has instructions about upgrading a cluster.

To install PostgreSQL enter:

make install

This will install files into the directories that were specified in Step 1. Make sure that you have appropriate permissions to write into that area. Normally you need to do this step as root. Alternatively, you can create the target directories in advance and arrange for appropriate permissions to be granted.

To install the documentation (HTML and man pages), enter:

make install-docs

If you built the world above, type instead:

make install-world

This also installs the documentation.

    How did you install, from source or via packages?

    If from source:

    https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/install-procedure.html
    <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/install-procedure.html>

    "If you want to build everything that can be built, including the
    documentation (HTML and man pages), and the additional modules
    (contrib), type instead:

    make world
