无法在 macOS 10.13.6 上为 FastAPI 项目安装 psycopg2：python setup.py egg_info 未成功运行

Question

I tried to install psycopg2 with the command line :

pip install psycopg2
and this is what I get

  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

      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
      <https://www.psycopg.org/docs/install.html>).

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details. 

then I tried to download the package from the official web site and put in the PATH:

/Users/t/PycharmProjects/API/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages (Im using a virtual environement) but I get No module named 'psycopg2'

Answer 1

After reading some similar questions on Stackoverflow here is the solution that worked for me.

First, install Homebrew in case you don't already have it installed

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

then install postgresql :

brew install postgresql

finally use the pip command to install psycpg2 :

pip install psycopg2

Answer 2

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
