When I try to initialize a new database, I get an error:
$ /usr/sbin/pg_ctl init
no data was returned by command ""/usr/sbin/initdb.exe" -V"
The program "initdb" is needed by pg_ctl but was not found in the
same directory as "/usr/sbin/pg_ctl".
Check your installation.
$ /usr/sbin/initdb.exe -V
initdb (PostgreSQL) 9.6.1
$ "/usr/sbin/initdb.exe" -V
initdb (PostgreSQL) 9.6.1
$ /usr/sbin/initdb.exe -D /usr/share/postgresql
no data was returned by command ""/usr/sbin/postgres.exe" -V"
The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the
same directory as "/usr/sbin/initdb".
Check your installation.
$ /usr/sbin/postgres -V
postgres (PostgreSQL) 9.6.1
Cygwin 2.6.1, Postgres 9.6.1
