Django Heroku - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django_heroku'

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'
Solution

  • 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
