I am confused because I had already install the PostgreSQL correctly just follow the postgres Document,
to prove that,I use the psql to connect to the postgres and execute some sql statements
(Just like 'CREATE TABLE', 'SELECT' and 'INSERT'),and these statements executed successfully.
So how to solve this problem? Should I use the dnf to install the 'postgresql-server' or just add some path to the environment variable?
My system is Fedora 35 and the PostgreSQL version is 14.

Ignore the overly helpful prompt to install PostgreSQL packages from your Linux distribution.

Your only problem is that /usr/pgsql-14/bin is not in your PATH environment variable.
