As in title I get this erroe despite having installed psycog2. Not sure why it is telling me to manually install the binaries myself.

    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>).

Hi @AngCamp, attempted a pip install of the SDK on a fresh python3.9, conda environment both on Mac and Linux and ran into no issues. Has the problem stopped for you recently? If not I would suggest trying a fresh environment as well.

I am trying this on a Compute Canada cluster, and I believe it is missing several bash libraries needed for python development. I don't have sudo privileges on this resource I think I need to set up a docker environment in order to resolve this issue. I will edit this questions title to reflect the bug better.
