I’m getting this error and I’m not sure what to do:
(storefront) jk@Js-MacBook-Pro storefront % pipenv install mysqlclient
Courtesy Notice: Pipenv found itself running within a virtual environment, so it will automatically use that environment, instead of creating its own for any project. You can set PIPENV_IGNORE_VIRTUALENVS=1 to force pipenv to ignore that environment and create its own instead. You can set PIPENV_VERBOSITY=-1 to suppress this warning.
