OK, although the original instructions ( from GitHub ) did not say to
create a virtual environment, the "install" step did complain that the
Python Virtualenv package was not installed.

This time, when I added psycopg to the "reqirements.txt" file,
everything worked correctely, no complaints.


Well, I guess we learn by failing ( or something )!


Thank you all.
