Error with pip install MySQL-python <p>I have been trying for a few days to fix this, looking at other questions but I can't find a question wth the same error that I am getting.</p> <p>I have been attempting to follow this tutorial <a href="https://realpython.com/learn/start-django/" rel="nofollow">https://realpython.com/learn/start-django/</a> and get to this point:</p> <p>Database settings First, install MySQL-python, which is a database connector for Python:</p> <pre><code>$ pip install MySQL-python </code></pre> <p>Everything has worked okay up to here but when I try and install MySQL-python I get the following error:</p> <blockquote> <pre><code>(env) Camerons-MacBook-Pro:django15_project camrail$ pip install MySQL-python Collecting MySQL-python Using cached MySQL-python-1.2.5.zip Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: sh: mysql_config: command not found Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;string&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; File "/private/var/folders/3v/czm4shrx0yg5jts39qktf6t00000gn/T/pip-build-2rNsQQ/MySQL-python/setup.py", line 17, in &lt;module&gt; metadata, options = get_config() File "/private/var/folders/3v/czm4shrx0yg5jts39qktf6t00000gn/T/pip-build-2rNsQQ/MySQL-python/setup_posix.py", line 43, in get_config libs = mysql_config("libs_r") File "/private/var/folders/3v/czm4shrx0yg5jts39qktf6t00000gn/T/pip-build-2rNsQQ/MySQL-python/setup_posix.py", line 25, in mysql_config raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,)) EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found ---------------------------------------- Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/3v/czm4shrx0yg5jts39qktf6t00000gn/T/pip-build-2rNsQQ/MySQL-python/ (env) Camerons-MacBook-Pro:django15_project camrail$ </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>I found this answer <a href="https://opensourcehacker.com/2011/03/02/installing-mysql-python-connector-on-osx/" rel="nofollow">https://opensourcehacker.com/2011/03/02/installing-mysql-python-connector-on-osx/</a> that says the MySQL utilities are not made available, so I followed their advice to fix it but to no avail. I have also tried installing developer tools <code>xcode-select --install</code> as some have suggested. I have tried reinstalling <code>ez_setup</code>.</p> <p>Not really sure where to go from here, any help greatly appreciated.</p>
