Last month I bought to myself an Apple M1, really good computer, with great power, and awesome battery.
My work with it is pretty simple, I code python API, some simple front App with TypeScript/react, trying some Go, learning swift and administrating some kubernetes clusters. Nothing too fancy.
I am trying to work with latest versions of software I use, and in this case, python 3.10.
I installed it with brew, pretty easily :
brew install [email protected]
I had troubles with psycopg2-binary, installing depedencies of one of the projects I work with, the error message i was getting was this one :
Error: pg_config executable not found.
pg_config is required to build psycopg2 from source. Please add the directory
containing pg_config to the $PATH or specify the full executable path with the
option:
python setup.py build_ext --pg-config /path/to/pg_config build ...
or with the pg_config option in 'setup.cfg'.
It seems there is some conf file that is missing. I tried to solve it by installing postgres server to get that missing file :
brew install [email protected]
At this point, brew tell me to setup the path to PG in my PATH, this way (using ZSH, it tells me to write it obviously to .zshrc):
echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/bin:$PATH"' > ~/.zshrc
Now i'm all set, and i can install it the way i want :
pip(3) install psycopg2-binary
Or in my project repository :
pipenv install psycopg2-binary
