i am new to linux world (fedora )
so can any one give step by step instruction to install postage sql

I donā€™t use postgresql, but from the error, it says that it failed because your /var/lib/pgsql/data directory is not empty. Does that directory contain any important data? If not, can you remove it and try again?

are you using my sql

No, I donā€™t use any database.

you should have gotten some pointers from the above.
ā€œsudo dnf install package-nameā€ works for all normal fedora packages, including pgadmin.

Search the postgresql documents here for how to do almost everything you need to know (and a lot extra). A tutorial is located here.
