install psycopg2 failing python 3.7

Question

I am following this tutorial - https://medium.com/@qazi/how-to-deploy-a-django-app-to-heroku-in-2018-the-easy-way-48a528d97f9c

so far I've:

• built my Django app and ran locally - works perfectly
• wrote Procfile with content web: gunicorn project_name.wsgi
• imported django_heroku to settings

I need to install psycopg2 so I ran pip install psycopg2

but getting the error

Building wheels for collected packages: psycopg2
  Building wheel for psycopg2 (setup.py) ... error

really feel like im going round in circles! have retried the steps out 10 times

any help would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

Instead of pip install psycopg2 try to run pip install psycopg2-binary.
