Description

The installation exits and returns the following output:

```

Using cached psycopg2-2.9.6.tar.gz (383 kB)
Installing build dependencies ... done
Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

********************************************************************************
The license_file parameter is deprecated, use license_files instead.

By 2023-Oct-30, you need to update your project and remove deprecated calls
or your builds will no longer be supported.

See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/declarative_config.html for details.

Error: pg_config executable not found.

pg_config is required to build psycopg2 from source. 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'.

If you prefer to avoid building psycopg2 from source, please install the PyPI
'psycopg2-binary' package instead.

For further information please check the 'doc/src/install.rst' file (also at
).

[end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

```

this is likely fixed by replacing `psycopg2` in `requirements.txt` with `psycopg2-binary`.
