install Psycopg2 on mac osx 10.9.5

Question

I'm trying to install Psycopg2 on my Mac-book. I still get the same error. I found a lot of same questions on Stack Overflow but no answer seems to work. I think it is outdated. I'm using:

Mac osx 10.9.5
Python 3.4.3
                 

My error code is:

Running setup.py egg_info for package psycopg2 Error: pg_config executable not found.

Please add the directory containing pg_config to the PATH or specify the full executable path with the option:

python setup.py build_ext --pg-config /path/to/pg_config build ...

or with the pg_config option in 'setup.cfg'. Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: running egg_info
