The "installation instructions" covers where files are placed when installing from source. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/install-procedure.html If you are not installing from source them whomever compiled the package you are installing will have specified where they are placing files and you will need to inquire of them. The PostgreSQL docs don't cover file locations in depth because each of the many platforms we support have their own conventions. David J.
