Pipenv install mysqlclient issues

Python
1

I’ve gone through cleaning my pipenv, upgrading pip3, and making a new pipenv environment. If someone can help me end this issue for me so I can get through the Django course, that would be great :slight_smile:

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.

Hey dude,

We are having the same issue, and I am unable to find any form of solution anywhere. If you have found one please let me know. If I find one I’ll post it here too, but I’m getting really annoyed at the lack of help with it.

Okay so after a lot of looking, I ended up on the pypi website. I installed HomeBrew using:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Then once HomeBrew was installed I followed the mysqlclient installation instructions on the pypi website:

brew install mysql pkg-config

pip install mysqlclient

This seems to have worked. If for any reason I still have errors, I’ll come back to inform, but I say give it a go.

This is what I did to solve it as well! Got Brew, then installed the missing packages with this command. Worked like a charm :pinched_fingers:
