Install mysql-client instead of mysql if you don't plan to have mysql in your computer

brew install mysql-client

echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql-client/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

source ~/.bash_profile

pip install mysqlclient

export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"

export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
