pip install mysqlclient failed "Running setup.py bdist_wheel for mysqlclient ... error"

mysql python-3.x macos pipenv

mysqlclient is not compatible with MySQL 8.0.11 at the time of this writing. Using MySQL v5.7.x will fix this issue (at least on macOS).

mysql python-3.x macos pipenv

If you are getting this error:

Building wheels for collected packages: mysqlclient Running setup.py bdist_wheel for mysqlclient ... error

While installing myclient using pip then follow the below steps:

Download miniconoda (small in size and contains required files)/anacondoa(all)Click to download Miniconda
Install it
Check the installation using commind "conda list" in cmd
Run this command then, "conda install -c miniconda mysqlclient" this is alternative way to install mysqlclient

Once executed successfully then run again pip install mysqlclient , you will find that your sqlclient is already installed successfully.

Hope this will resolve your issue. still not please share the error details. Would love to help.
