Error starting DJango server when installing Mysql

Question

I just started to create a new project with Django.

I have installed MySql and MySql client for Python. But this error happens when I try to run the server.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb



ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'MySQLdb'
........
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module.
Did you install mysqlclient?``

Answer 1

SOLVED. I needed to use install the mysqlDB with python3. But now this error appears.
Someone?

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: mysqlclient 1.3.13 or newer is required;

you have 1.3.10.

Answer 2

You need to install mysql-client, not mysql-python.

Try to install mysql-client and you will find many mysql-client wheels.

• Download the first one, do not change the name of the file
• open command prompt
• use cd to go to the directory where your wheel has been installed
• then use pip install (name of file) #use .whl as well

if it doesn't work, download the second one and repeat the process, if that doesn't work as well, keep on downloading until I guarantee you that at least one of them would be installed in your computer
