I'm trying to deploy my app to heroku but after executing pip install django-heroku it gives me an error. I'm running Python 3 with Django 2.2 on a mac.

The error message recommended to install psycopg2-binary, which I did but after the installation I still see the same error. Thank you for help.

The error message:

ERROR: Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    ERROR: running egg_info
    creating pip-egg-info/psycopg2.egg-info
    writing pip-egg-info/psycopg2.egg-info/PKG-INFO
    writing dependency_links to pip-egg-info/psycopg2.egg-info/dependency_links.txt
    writing top-level names to pip-egg-info/psycopg2.egg-info/top_level.txt
    writing manifest file 'pip-egg-info/psycopg2.egg-info/SOURCES.txt'

    Error: pg_config executable not found.

    pg_config is required to build psycopg2 from source.  Please add the 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>).

Try:

sudo apt install libpq-dev

And then run pip install django-heroku. It should work.

Installing this package worked for me 'libpqxx' (or this one 'libpq-dev' as referred from here!
