Question

I have already installed

• Python 2.7.13
• Django 1.11
• MySQL 5.7.17

I want use MySQL with Django, but after install mysql connect

Answer 1

I needed the following to build / install mysqlclient

brew install mysql-client
# mysql-client is not on the `PATH` by default
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql-client/bin:$PATH"
# openssl is not on the link path by default
export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/"

Then I could pip wheel mysqlclient / pip install mysqlclient successfully
