pg-config string not registering

[based-network]

sudo timescaledb-tune -- didn't work got the error could not execute pg_config --version: exec: "pg_config": executable file not found in $PATH
then tried
sudo timescaledb-tune --pg-config=/usr/pgsql-13/bin/pg_config

maybe the string isn't registering because it then throws an error
exit: could not find postgresql.conf at any of these locations:
/etc/postgresql/13/main/postgresql.conf
/var/lib/pgsql/13/data/postgresql.conf
/var/lib/postgres/data/postgresql.conf
/var/lib/postgresql/data/postgresql.conf

@based-network The second error you're seeing is that tune cannot find postgresql.conf, not pg_config. So for that you'd need to use the --conf-path flag.

Is /usr/pgsql-13/ the standard install path on some OS/system? I tried to cover the major ones we usually see, but that doesn't look familiar.

This happened to me today while using the documentation to install TimescaleDB on a CentOS VM and it helped me. Thanks. The docs need some updating, they are not clear that you need to install Postgres server before the TimeScaleDB package.

Hmm installing timescaledb should have pulled in postgresql as dependency was that not the case?
