That means the client is "installed" properly. "Installed"
because the "install" is just that the client code is able to
run from an arbitrary location as long as the CVS tree
structure is sufficiently preserved.

You deleted the PostgreSQL data directory. No such thing is
necessary for installing the GnuMed server, let alone the
client.

You need to read up on how to set up PostgreSQL first.

That should not have to do anything with the above except if
you downloaded the GnuMed CVS tree into the PostgreSQL data
directory. Which is not a good place for it.

No. If you are referring to the bootstrap script you only need
to run that if you want to setup your own database for GnuMed.
Nothing to do with the client.
