# mysqlclient
[](http://travis-ci.org/PyMySQL/mysqlclient-python)
This is a fork of [MySQLdb1](https://github.com/farcepest/MySQLdb1).
This project adds Python 3 support and bug fixes.
I hope this fork is merged back to MySQLdb1 like distribute was merged back to setuptools.
## Install
### Prerequisites
You may need to install the Python and MySQL development headers and libraries like so:
* `sudo apt-get install python-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev` # Debian / Ubuntu
* `sudo yum install python-devel mysql-devel` # Red Hat / CentOS
* `brew install mysql-client` # macOS (Homebrew)
On Windows, there are binary wheels you can install without MySQLConnector/C or MSVC.
#### Note on Python 3 : if you are using python3 then you need to install python3-dev using the following command :
`sudo apt-get install python3-dev` # debian / Ubuntu
`sudo yum install python3-devel ` # Red Hat / CentOS
### Install from PyPI
`pip install mysqlclient`
NOTE: Wheels for Windows may be not released with source package. You should pin version
in your `requirements.txt` to avoid trying to install newest source package.
### Install from source
1. Download source by `git clone` or [zipfile](https://github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient-python/archive/master.zip).
2. Customize `site.cfg`
3. `python setup.py install`
### Documentation
Documentation is hosted on [Read The Docs](https://mysqlclient.readthedocs.io/)
