Ubuntu, fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory #include <Python.h>

when i try to install psycopg2 the error appears

fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory #include <Python.h>

because, there is a search for this file along the path /usr/include/python3.8

but this file is located in the path /usr/local/include/python3.8/Python.x

How to solve this problem?? Is Python installed in the wrong directory?

Its not clear what version of Ubuntu you are using. Assuming it is a fresh install and you don't have these installed. I would suggest you install the following

sudo apt-get install python3 python-dev python3-dev build-essential

Once these are installed then try again installing psycopg2
