I am trying to install django-heroku using pip, but it keeps running into an error.

I have seen suggestions telling me to make sure my Python version in Heroku is up to date. I have already done that. After pushing to Heroku master, I ran the install command, but it gives me the following errors.

pip install django-heroku

Error:

Error: pg_config executable not found.

pg_config is required to build psycopg2 from source.  Please add t .   he directory
containing pg_config to the $PATH or specify the full executable
path with the
option:

    python setup.py build_ext --pg-config /path/to/pg_config build ...

or with the pg_config option in 'setup.cfg'.

If you prefer to avoid building psycopg2 from source, please
install the PyPI
'psycopg2-binary' package instead.

For further information please check the 'doc/src/install.rst' file
(also at
<http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/install.html>).

    I have fixed this by running env LDFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib" pip install psycopg2 from stackoverflow.com/a/39800677/4270698 on MacOS Catalina Commented Dec 9, 2019 at 1:51

You need to add the package containing the executable pg_config.

A prior answer should have details you need: pg_config executable not found
