Hello,

I have installed postgres I saw the message postgres installation complete. But when I look in the install directory I only see

bin

lib

include

share

I do not see man and docs, may I know how I can install the man and docs  and what is the use of it?

The docs say that if you want to install documentation you need to "make install-docs".  Did you do this?

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

It also indicates:

--prefix ... (The man and doc locations are not affected by this.)

I'm not exactly sure what that means, not having done a source installation myself before, but if you go doing customization to the default values you probably need to be aware of this.

It helps greatly if you provide the O/S and commands used when asking for help on installation matters.
