无法在 mac 上安装 mysqlclient

Question

I'm attempting to install mysqlclient using the command:

pip install mysqlclient but i get the following error:

Using cached mysqlclient-1.3.12.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    /bin/sh: mysql_config: command not found
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/private/var/folders/8d/xdwdnphs1w5b_vtxrc67__5h0000gn/T/pip-build-ifu54299/mysqlclient/setup.py", line 17, in <module>
        metadata, options = get_config()
      File "/private/var/folders/8d/xdwdnphs1w5b_vtxrc67__5h0000gn/T/pip-build-ifu54299/mysqlclient/setup_posix.py", line 44, in get_config
        libs = mysql_config("libs_r")
      File "/private/var/folders/8d/xdwdnphs1w5b_vtxrc67__5h0000gn/T/pip-build-ifu54299/mysqlclient/setup_posix.py", line 26, in mysql_config
        raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))
    OSError: mysql_config not found

I uninstalled python3 using brew uninstall --force python3 and downloaded the binary from pythons website but to no avail. I also attempted to download mysql connector from oracle website and again to no avail. I have tried upgrading pip again still doesnt work.

PS mysql is running in a docker container and i'm running django on my local machine.

Any suggestions on why i'm getting an error attempting to install mysqlclient
