Command open postgresql in from cmd in windows

[sunday honesty]

I have been in a message before I could successfully install postgresql on my windows; it seems everyone is using Linux or Mac.

Pls can someone help me now...
I want to open postgres she'll from my command prompt so I can continue what am learning... The Tutorial am following is using Linux and the command to "psql" to open shell is not working on my windows.

Anybody please.

Postgres on Windows may have a different story and user interface.  You may need to use something like pAdmin to work with it.

Set path For PostgreSQL in Windows:

 

1. Searching for env will show Edit environment variables for your account
2. Select Environment Variables

3. From the System Variables box click new(to add new path)

 

Include the bin directory of your PostgreSQL installation. then add new path there....

[for example]

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\bin

After that click OK and then try to type psql in your command shell

 

I adapted this from a comment in stackoverflow in the link bellow, if it doesnt work I suggest you to go there.

@Samuel,

I did that and psql now opened and prompted me to enter password for my user name(system). I entered the password I created while installing postgresql and got a fatal error even when I was connected to the internet...

PS: the username it gave me during installation is postgres but prompted me to enter password for my computer username

you just need to specify the username wich you want to use. So type "psql -U postgres", as postgres being your username.
