Install pgbench on non PostgreSql server

Question

I use pgbench tool on a CentOS 8 server without installed PostgreSQL. In case Postgresql 10 install command is:

dnf install postgresql-contrib

pgbench --version
pgbench (PostgreSQL) 10.23

With PostgreSql 13 it does not work:

pgbench --version
-bash: pgbench: command not found

What package should I install for installing pgbanch tool?

What did you do? Just thinking about v13 wouldn't make the v10 disappear. You must have done something — jjanes

pgbench is a client tool. Just install the postgresql13 and the postgresql13-libs packages, and you are good.
