Unable to install mysqlclient on Ubuntu 22.04.3
I want to install MySQL on my Ubuntu 22.04.3 for a Django course I’m taking. I used the following command:
pip install mysqlclient
I tried the suggestions in this thread: Unable to install mysqlclient on Ubuntu 20.10
I followed the steps mentioned but didn’t resolve it.
Step 1 wasn’t working because libssl1.1 is deprecated so I installed libssl3.
Step 2 does not work even if I use:
sudo apt install libssl3=1.1.1f-1ubuntu2
instead of:
sudo apt install libssl1.1=1.1.1f-1ubuntu2
I guess is not the right way.
Then I successfully installed the following:
sudo apt install libssl-dev
sudo apt install libmysqlclient-dev
But even after this I keep getting error when running pip install mysqlclient:
Will appreciate some help or guidance to resolve this.
The error /bin/sh: 1: pkg-config: not found is telling you, that pkg-config is missing.
To install pkg-config package, run this command:
sudo apt install pkg-config
