I installed PoVRay 3.7 by running sudo apt-get install povray, but now when I try to run with a postscript file as the input I get the following error:

povray: cannot open the user configuration file /root/.povray/3.7/povray.conf: No such file or directory

I tried the steps suggested in this answer, but that did not help.

If anyone could provide a solution, it would be very helpful. Thank you.

First, PovRay will not render a postscript file, only Scene Description Language files (.pov) or batch files (.ini). Are you mixing PovRay up with GhostScript?

2nd, your instance is looking for /root/.povray/3.7/povray.conf while the answered question was looking for /home/fusion809/.povray/3.7/povray.conf.

So you should run that ln -s /etc/povray/ .povray from your /root directory.
