Analysis of the process of installing mysqlclient on MAC

Try to install via PIP in a virtual environment:

pip install mysqlclient

And then an error is reported: oserror: MySQL_ config not found

Find official documents https://github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient-python , explaining that another module needs to be installed before installation:

brew install mysql-connector-c

But the report is wrong:

Check the error information before installing mysql-connector-c

brew unlink mysql

However, if you continue to install, you will still report an error:

Check the official instructions, the original MAC OS will need to MySQL_ In config

# on macOS, on or about line 112:
# Create options 
libs="-L$pkglibdir"
libs="$libs -l "

Change to

# Create options 
libs="-L$pkglibdir"
libs="$libs -lmysqlclient -lssl -lcrypto"

Now it’s easy to do. Let’s go straight

which mysql_config

Find the file path, move to the path, modify the content with VIM, exit and re execute

pip install mysqlclient

And it worked.

In fact, there are other modules connected to MySQL under python, such as pymysql, etc. It’s not so troublesome to install under Mac.
