Generic Linux Instructions:

If your distribution isn't mentioned, you can often use your package manager to install psql. For example:

For Debian-based systems (like Ubuntu):
```
sudo apt-get install postgresql-client
```
For Red Hat-based systems (like CentOS):
```
sudo yum install postgresql
```
For systems using the zypper package manager (like openSUSE):
```
sudo zypper install postgresql
```

Remember that you might need to adjust the commands based on your Linux distribution. Once installed, you can use psql to connect to PostgreSQL databases from the command line.

Verify the installation by running:

psql --version

These instructions are general, and the package names might vary slightly based on the Linux distribution and version. Adjust the commands accordingly based on your system.
