    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>).

Never mind this issue is very easy to fixed. I just follow the the official docs by drop --no-binary psycopg2 and I am good to go.

Thank you @luzfcb @sfdye

I just got this error as well. Using Docker. Pycharm. Windows 10 Dropping --no-binary psycopg2 didn’t help

I noticed my PGS was not in the PATH, so that fixed that error. Got another error about link.exe they I gave up. 😦
