#mysql_config

I found this cool script from http://www.macminivault.com. It will check and install mysql to your system. (you can check his blog from the link above)

Just run : bash <(curl -Ls http://git.io/eUx7rg) and the script will do the rest.

In addition:

when installing mysql-python package using pip install you may encounter the error: (EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found)

Just add the path on your bin/activate file

PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin/"

NOTE*: Usually, mysql_config is found on that directory but check yours and add the correct path. reactivate env so the new settings is applied.

Here's a possible way on fixing the error you encounter when installing python-mysql inside the virtualenv.

Error:

   ... metadata, options = get_config()

  File "setup_posix.py", line 43, in get_config

    libs = mysql_config("libs_r")

  File "setup_posix.py", line 24, in mysql_config

    raise EnvironmentError("%s not found" % (mysql_config.path,))

EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

Solution:

(Install the following packages)

sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient16
