ERROR: Failed building wheel for mysqlclient blocker on Unbuntu 18.04 droplet
Hi, I’m running into this blocking issue while setting up Django with MySQL database. I’m pasting here what I tried so far on Ubuntu 18.04 droplet.
$ sudo apt install nginx mysql-server python3-pip python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev
$ sudo apt install mysql-client
$ sudo mysql_secure_installation
$ sudo mysql ( configured new db requirements )
$ sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade pip
$ sudo -H pip3 install virtualenv
$ pip install django gunicorn mysqlclient (virtualenv)
This is where mysqlclient was not getting installed. Here is the error snippet.
(vkdev)user@ubuntu-hejjjj:~/testproject$ pip install mysqlclient
Collecting mysqlclient

Since mysqlclient install is failed here, I continued to try these steps but I don’t have luck so far.
$ pip install django gunicorn (virtualenv)
$ sudo apt install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pymysql
$ sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev
$ sudo apt-get install python3.7-dev libmysqlclient-dev gcc default-libmysqlclient-dev
I appreciate if someone has a clue with appropriate steps.
Thanks
