command not found

Are you sure you want to be doing this as the root user and not as the postgres user?

If you login as the postgres user you'll have the right path and "psql" will connect as the postgres user.

Alternatively, you could say "psql -U postgres" and then when you're prompted for a password, the one that you selected at install time should work.
