sql - The local psql command could not be located

Question

I'm following the instructions found here. When I try to run $ heroku pg:psql or $ heroku pg:psql HEROKU POSTGRESQL_BROWN I recieve the following error message:

! The local psql command could not be located ! For help installing psql, see local-postgresql

I can't find anything useful on the link it gives me (it just links to the instructions I was already using, but further down the page) nor can I find this error anywhere else.

If I've missed anything you need to know to answer this, just let me know. I'm rather new to all this and teaching myself as I go.

Answer 1

I had same error even after installing Postgres locally. But after seeing this I saw that "pqsl" was not in the PATH so I then did

PATH=%PATH%;C:Program FilesPostgreSQL9.2in

which worked for me
