    You get this error because you are you using systemctl when you did not install Postgres as a system service. Since you installed from source code you have to navigate into your Postgres directory and run bin/pg_ctl status -D /path/to/data_directory to ascertain the status of your Postgres instance.

    Since sudo is looking is trying to locate /bin:usr/bin in PATH, you can try exporting this in the PATH environment variable.

    export PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin

    Note: If you want to make this change permanent, try adding it at the end of ~/.bashrc file and then saving the changes using source ~/.bashrc.

    You are getting this error because sudo is not in path,
    Everything is a file in linux system, even commands as well.

    You can check content of PATH variable by executing command $ echo $PATH
    If you do not find /usr/bin in the output than you can append /usr/bin in PATH variable by executing command

    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin

    because sudo file is located in 2 places, i.e /usr/bin or /bin directories.

    It’s happening because of some missing line in .bashrc file or which ever shell you are using, you can check that by echo $SHELL
    Just add the export line in your respective shell config file and it’ll be permanent solution.
