Installing python-dev(it might be python3-dev, install according to your current python version) and libpq-dev should solve your problem.

Also Check out this stackoverflow question pg_config executable not found. It talks about the same problem.

While this might be relevant for system-level Python installs, Conda environment installs will automatically manage such dependencies if one uses `conda install` - it's kind of the point of Conda. Moreover, even were this the solution, this should be a comment as a suggested duplicate, rather than an answer. – merv Oct 14 '20 at 22:14

@merv Sure, Thanks for pointing out. I didn't know if conda works like a PaaS for python applications. But for original setup it require to install dev packages. – Priyanshu Jain Oct 15 '20 at 05:32
