Start up a fresh VM in the distro you're using and follow instructions on how to initialize it there. If you do this and it works on the VM, you'll know it's some sort of system config error instead of a user error. I have no other ideas bc I've never done that before but best of luck :)
Unfortunately I’ve had the same problem in two separate distros. Thanks for the advice though!
If it’s happened on multiple distros the problem is likely in the commands you are entering / instructions you are following. The top comment on this post has the right install commands, follow that or do some googling for how to install postgresql on Ubuntu. I’d imagine digital ocean or someone else has made a good detailed guide that will help you.
Sometimes it’s just a matter of finding the right, up to date instructions for how to do the thing
Otherwise, in the future posting the full error you are getting and the full commands you are running will help us debug your specific situation in a more concrete way. With the little information we have we can only guess at the issue and point you towards the right way to install Postgres.
Thank you for the information! I’ll definitely include the errors from now on. I should have come here way sooner.
