[Python] CommandError: You appear not to have the 'psql' program installed or on your path

I'm using Windows, no virtualenv. I have psycopg2 installed with Pip, and the latest version of PostgreSQL installed as well.

When I run ./ manage.py dbshell, I get the following error:

CommandError: You appear not to have the 'psql' program installed or on your path.


When I run ./ manage.py dbshell psql, I get this:

usage: manage.py dbshell [-h] [--version] [-v {0,1,2,3}] [--settings SETTINGS]
[--pythonpath PYTHONPATH] [--traceback] [--no-color]
[--database DATABASE]
manage.py dbshell: error: unrecognized arguments: psql


I have read a few other posts on this error like this but I don't understand why this is not working for me. I have all the settings properly configured, and all the proper apps installed.

My settings.py:

DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
'NAME': 'postgres',
'USER': 'postgres',
'PASSWORD': '********',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '5432',
}
}


EDIT: I did not add Postgres's /bin folder into my PATH. I just did it and it is working now. Thanks to Daniel Roseman.
