How to Avoid the Error

Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge postgres*

delete all configuration files
$ sudo rm -rf /etc/postgresql/

reinstall postgresql
$sudo apt-get install postgresql-10
