Error Installing Psycopg2 on MacOS 10.9.5

I'm trying to install Psycopg2 on my Macbook, but I am getting an error. I found a lot of the same questions on StackOverflow but no answer seems to work. I'm using: OS: MacOS 10.9.5 Python Version: 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'.
