[FIXED] I run into the following error when trying to install MySQL connector for Flask

Issue

I try to run pip3 install flask_mysqldb command but it throws me the following error this the error screenshot. Any suggestions on how to resolve the error?

Thanks.

I want to install a python library to connect mysqldb with my flask web application

Solution

There are dependencies needed to install flask_mysqldb

On https://pypi.org/project/Flask-MySQLdb/ say:

"Quickstart

First, you may need to install some dependencies for mysqlclient if you don't already have them, see here."

Also, there are similar questions on StackOverflow, like:
