I am deploying on heroku a website but I am experiencing some issue. My project is called mysite-project.

I did the following:

1) Create a Procfile containing:

web: gunicorn mysite-project.wsgi

at the base root of my project (same level where manage.py is).

2) app/settings.py

import django_heroku at the top

django_heroku.settings(locals()) at the bottom of settings.py

3) 

pip install gunicorn
pip install django-heroku
pip freeze > requirements.txt

4) If I run python manage.py runserver I get: 

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django_heroku'

There was a problem with:

pip install django-heroku

It was not fully installed because thee was a problem with psycopg2 that was not installed. To install psycopg2, run:

pip install psycopg2

Then you can run pip install django-heroku and the error disappeared.

You can also try installing:

pip install psycopg2-binary

if the error persists

    I get the following error while trying to install `psycopg2` : `error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1` I'm using Mac running Catalina. – Dev_mjm Jun 08 '20 at 14:11

    @Dev_mjm Please check : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11094718/error-command-gcc-failed-with-exit-status-1-while-installing-eventlet – Magofoco Jun 08 '20 at 15:41
  • @Dev_mjm, I, too, cannot install `django-heroku` because I need to install `psycopg2`. Installing `psycopg2-binary` works, but not if you want to install `django-heroku`. I'm on macOS Sierra – CottonTheButton Aug 01 '20 at 11:12

    How is this an answer? He is asking you for the solution with Heroku deployment.. – Matej J Aug 11 '20 at 12:33

I had the same problem as well. I have psycopg2 installed. (for postgres)

Installing 'psycopg2- binary' solved my problem.

For me, the error was due to adding django-heroku to installed apps in settings.py..,removing it solved the issue.
