无法在离线 CentOS7 服务器上安装 mysqlclient 并显示错误消息“此平台上不受支持的轮子”

Question

I am trying to install mysqlclient in a offline CentOS7 server, so that I can connect my Django site to a MariaDB

What I did was to download.wheel package "mysqlclient-2.0.3-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl" from PyPI. Then I run the code

pip install mysqlclient-2.0.3-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

But received the following message

mysqlclient-2.0.3-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform. [error message][1] [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/bhqUD.png

I looked through all available answers and internet questions but did not able to find a similar problem. Could someone give me help?

Thank you very much

After following @Brain comment, I have solved the problem.

I went to PyPI and downloaded the.tar.gz file;

Uploaded the file to the offline server. Unzipped the file and followed the INSTALL.rst

Although building from the.tar.gz source code required some more efforts. Thanks
