    You may have installed a portion of PostgreSQL - possibly just the
    client stuff (psql, libraries and such needed to connect to a
    PostgreSQL server). The deb package is usually called
    "postgresql-client-VERSION". Make sure you have installed the server
    which is just called "postgresql-VERSION".

    
    Optionally you can install postgresql-contrib which contains a large
    variety of available extensions (the package installs them on your
    machine but you have to selectively install the specific extensions
    you want into your database - see "create extension" and look for
    info on "contrib").

    
    You can also install a variety of languages for use in writing
    procedural functions in PostgreSQL (plperl, plpython, pllua, pltcl,
    ...).
