python setup.py egg_info error
Hi
I just started learning Python using Django and I just seemed to be stuck at the same place for 3 days, every time I try to run the following command in my terminal (Yep, I am using a Mac) I get the below error:
Command: pip install mysqlclient
Error:
Collecting mysqlclient

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

Please help me understand whats going on and how I can solve it. Above all I can't seem to run the following :
python manage.py migrate (as I haven't installed mysqlclient)
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Since mysql_config can't be found, it sounds like you haven't setup mysql.
Given that this isn't about PyCharm, you'd probably have more luck posting this on StackOverflow or Reddit's /r/python channel.
Thank you very much Paul, I have installed Xampp and connected successfully via Pycharm when I tested it, I'm currently following a tutorial and checking the Jetbrains steps on setting up MySQL, but still doesn't work
Hi, I have the same problem. However, I am using AWS MySQL, not local MySQL. So how can i fix this error?
Many thanks in advance for any advices.
