Error: You must install at least one postgresql-client- package

This error occurs when you try to execute a command that requires the PostgreSQL client, but it is not installed on your system. The package name mentioned in the error message (““) represents the specific version of the PostgreSQL client that you should install.

To resolve this error, you need to install the appropriate PostgreSQL client package for your system. Here are a few example commands to install different versions of the PostgreSQL client on popular Linux distributions:

Ubuntu/Debian:

    
      $ sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-{version}
    
  

CentOS/RHEL:

    
      $ sudo yum install postgresql{version}-contrib
      $ sudo yum install postgresql{version}-devel
    
  

Arch Linux:

    
      $ sudo pacman -S postgresql
    
  

Replace “{version}” in the above commands with the specific version of PostgreSQL client package you want to install (e.g., “postgresql-client-12” or “postgresql-client-13”).

Once the PostgreSQL client package is installed, you should be able to successfully execute the command that initially resulted in the error.
