You need to install postgresql-server-dev-X.Y for building a server-side extension or libpq-dev for building a client-side application

Question

I am working on Django project with virtualenv and connect it to local postgres database. when i run the project is says,

ImportError: No module named psycop         


        

Answer 1

I was using a virtual environment on Ubuntu 18.04, and since I only wanted to install it as a client, I only had to do:

sudo apt install libpq-dev
pip install psycopg2

And installed without problems. Of course, you can use the binary as other answers said, but I preferred this solution since it was stated in a requirements.txt file.
