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.

I did use the prefix command i am installing using source code.

​It is customary to bottom or inline posts on these lists.

Lacking experience myself, and specifics on your part, I'm not going to be
able to help further without digging deeper into source code installation
than I am able to at the moment. Someone else may though.

But, did you go look to the place where the default prefix would end up
placing the docs, if you installed them at all?

How did you install, from source or via packages?

If from source:

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

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.

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.

Without seeing what you passed to ./configure it is not really possible
to answer this. The ./configure settings will be in the config.log file
in the directory you ran ./configure.

Any particular reason you are not using a package manager to install
Postgres?
