i've been trying to install mysql for my django project.I am running osx yosemite 10.10 and django=1.7, python 2.7, and also virtual env. when i tried to run pip install MySQL-python then the following error appears:

You are using pip version 6.0.8, however version 7.0.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
DEPRECATION: --no-install and --no-download are deprecated. See  https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/906.
Collecting MySQL-python

  Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /Volumes/DiskSecond/pythonsNest/env2/build/MySQL-python

i've globally installed python on my system but django is installed in virtualenv named==env2. when i check my env2's build folder then there is already a folder named s present with all the mysql files.but still the error appears while installing it using pip.where is the problem??

you need to do this in your console: 

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

then

brew install mysql
pip install mysql-python

  • well i'm running it for django, so how does the ruby command work? also when i tried to run brew install mysql, it showed me an error. – NightOwl19 Jun 20 '15 at 14:59
  • He needs to get the equivalent of the mysql-devel package for CentOS / RHEL or libmysqlclient-dev for Ubuntu/Debian, unless brew handles it all? – FlipperPA Jun 20 '15 at 20:39
  • also, i have already installed xampp for mysql and phpmyadmin..so is it possible that because of that, the mentioned error is appearing. also i tried to locate my mysqld file, and it's showing when i try to list it recursively from xampp applications directly but when i tried to run it, it didn't appear at all? – NightOwl19 Jun 21 '15 at 03:23
