I’ve been trying to install PostgreSQL for a week. Can’t get the repositories to work correctly≥ (lemmy.world)

PostgreSQL says it’s included in Ubuntu related operating systems, but I’m not sure. I’m unable to start the service, or set up new servers in PgAdmin. I’ve tried to install the repositories but I’m either getting “1831” architecture errors, or no release file errors. I’ve tried fixing the list file, but it doesn’t seem to help. If anyone can help i would really appreciate it

The course I’m taking provides download links for an installer for windows, and Mac. After this and another problem I’ve had on Mac back in the day I’m thinking of switching to windows. Maybe the development software works better there.

I know you've solved the problem. I would still like to suggest using the asdf version manager. It's a good idea to switch to it because different problems tend to crop up when installing different tooling. Usually these are unique to each tool and sometimes hard to find the right solution.

Instead, I use asdf to manage it all for me. You get the added benefit of being able to install different versions of the same tool. Sometimes a project is built using a different version to the one you have in your package manager. It's nice to be able to use different versions locally while still having a global default.

I will 100% look into that. Thanks a ton!
