Do you mean how to access a running instance of Postgres? Postgres is a
database, so generally you will access it through another program. This
program may be an interactive DB administration tool, like PgAdmin, or
it may be an application (such as what one might build with Python or C).

If you want to directly interact with Postgres from the command line,
there is Psql[1].

As you are new to Postgres in general, I would suggest spending an hour
reading the Preface and Tutorial from PostreSQL's amazingly well-written
documentation[2].

If you are looking to develop Postgres, start with [3] and [4].

Cheers,

Kevin
