Well I am trying for hours to install and configure postgres in ubuntu but getting below error:

psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
    Is the server running locally and accepting
    connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

I have tried almost every solution I found but still no success.

Below are the commands I have used to install postgres:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib

sudo -i -u postgres

psql (After this I got an error)

The error arises during the installation of postgres.Kindly give suggestions or resources through I which I can fix this!

Did you create and start a PostgreSQL database cluster? – Laurenz Albe Jan 27 '20 at 12:24
I used "pg_ctlcluster 12 main start" then it gave me "Job for postgresql@12-main.service failed because the service did not take the steps required by its unit configuration." – Nabeel Ayub Jan 27 '20 at 12:32
