How to install postgressql-server

  • 772

For ruby development on Heroku I need to use postgresql, but when I do bundle install I see this message: 

You need to install postgresql-server-dev-X.Y for building a server-side extension or libpq-dev for building a client-side application.   
checking for libpq-fe.h... no   Can't find the 'libpq-fe.h header
ruby

  1. You need to install the PostgreSQL server: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt

    And install the lib necessary for the pg gem:

    sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

    It should work after that.
