incorrect setup instructions

[fisher60]

I was attempting to set up a dev environment for windows and your setup instructions appear to recommend global installs. Would you be interested in using pipenv for this project? I would happily set that up.

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'.

@fisher60 do you have PostgresSQL installed?

[fisher60]

No, I did not see that as a project requirement.

[akshatvg]

Good catch once again. You can add it during your PR.

I will be adding docker to streamline the dev setup, if that is alright with you all. This would make it much easier setup, especially on windows (considering a DB is required). I should have this setup pretty quickly, but please let me know if you would not like to use docker.

Edit: I will be adding a dev environment to docker, is what I meant to say.

An update: I have searched for a few hours now and I am unable to get this work. I am now in a docker container with postgresql and pyscopg2 does not work. Any help would be appreciated here, I am not sure what the issue is or how this project is supposed to run. I have essentially cloned a docker setup that I already have that uses psycopg2 and posrgress.

It also appears that sqlite3 is the only db being used as per the settings.py file. So I am unsure why this is required.

@fisher60,

The psycopg2 package broke in the latest release and the maintainer archived the repo.

Please run this specific install instruction: pip3 install psycopg2==2.7.5 to install psycopg2. If you would like use another PostgreSQL DB Adapter feel free to.

hmmm, I am installing from requirements.txt, which specifies that version.
