Cannot install psycopg2 with pip3 on M1 Mac
I cannot install psycopg2 on my M1 Mac and I used pip3.
When I tried to install with pip3 install psycopg2 The output like that:

==============================================================================
Its beginning of the error, After that its tried to install each previous version of Psycopg
==============================================================================
Also, I tried to install with source code with :
git clone https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2.git
cd psycopg2
python3 setup.py build
Its return as error like that:
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
Error: pg_config executable not found.

Also
python3 setup.py build
return the same error as python3 setup.py build
How can I install it?
try this:
brew install libpq --build-from-source
brew install openssl
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/lib -L/opt/homebrew/opt/libpq/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/include -I/opt/homebrew/opt/libpq/include"
pip3 install psycopg2
Thanks to active development, now there is a new release of psycopg2 as well as psycopg2-binary which is compatible with M1 devices. Ver. 2.9.1 works smooth. Tried and tested Reference - https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/issues/1200
Here's a list of instructions of how to install postgressql and then add the pg_config to your path https://stories.thirdbrain.ch/postgresql-psycopg2-macosx-python-error That appears to be the error here
$ brew install postgresql
$ pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start
$ brew install openssl
If you have already installed it, re-install
$ brew reinstall openssl
4 - Find the path of pg_config
$ find / -name pg_config 2>/dev/nul
5 - Check something like my path :
$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/11.5_1/bin/pg_config
6 - Do the same thing with the lib ssl :
$ export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
Before reverting to any of the older answers, I would recommend trying the following:
Install Postgres using brew install postgres, then pip3 install psycopg2.
Worked on Mac M1, Monterey, Python 3.9.
Thanks to Kori Vernon.
