Why mySQLclient is not installed

Question:

I want to install the MySQLclient package on my Cpanel host through the terminal. Because I want to connect my Django project to the database.
When I want to install the necessary packages, everyone installs except MySQLClient.
It also gives an error:

Collecting mysqlclient
  Using cached mysqlclient-2.1.0.tar.gz (87 kB)

× Encountered error while trying to install package.
╰─> mysqlclient

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for output from the failure.

I do not understand this error and I do not know what it says.
No matter how much I searched, I did not find anything useful.
Thank you for your help.

Answers:

I found out that the host I was trying to install MySQLclient on had to be configured by the provider for Python 3.9
But because I was in a hurry and could not wait for the host to be configured, I ran the project on Python 3.7 and no problem occurred.

I got the following types of error while installing mysqlclient

  1. error: subprocess-exited-with-error (Running setup.py install for
    mysqlclient did not run successfully)

  2. Python Error: Command ‘X86_64-Linux-Gnu-Gcc’ Failed With Exit Status 1 With Code Examples

Let’s solve this problem using the following commands:

sudo apt-get install gcc python3.x-dev # choose correct python version

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev

This solution worked for me and you can at least try it. I hope it helps.
Thank you!
