Rails bundle install has issues with postgres gem

Question

I've been running into issues with pg in my Rails gem. When I try to..

$ bundle install

..my terminal returns..

An error occurred while installing pg (0.21.0), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install pg -v '0.21.0'` succeeds before bundling.

My gemfile includes this:

group :production, :default do
  gem 'pg'
end

The exercise I am doing is to deploy my Rails app in Heroku, and it works. The idea is that I do not install postgres locally.

This is my Github repo, if it helps: https://github.com/cyqurayte/Rails1

On what platform are you? Is there a more specific error message? Maybe it's something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3116015/how-to-install-postgresqls-pg-gem-on-ubuntu — Robin, Sep 03 '17 at 17:18
Heroku. I have sqlite3 for dev environment and postgres for production environment on heroku — Cherian Grundmann, Sep 03 '17 at 20:41

The idea is that I do not install postgres locally.

I don't think it's possible to install this gem without having postgres already installed and updated

The reason this works on heroku is that the environment there already has postgres installed
