Good, what is the name of the library for autocompleting commands in psql by tab, by analogy with shell linux. Arrow up - command history. I read that you need to collect from sources with a certain flag. Question - is it possible to enable this option for psql installed from the debian repository?
debian 8
postgresql 9.6

If readline is installed on the system, then autocompletion will work in psql.
apt-get install readline-common
