Error when install mysqlclient using pip on ubuntu 16.04

error: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-5LHWML/mysqlclient/

A few days ago i did deploy a django project to ubuntu server. I found a problem when installing the package requirements of this project when installing mysqlclient using pip (Python package manager). This is actually a problem I’ve fixed before, but I forgot how to fix it. So I think that I have to write how to fix this problem.. This problem caused by mysqlclient package depends to some package in ubuntu (libmysqlclient-dev). So, let’s install it by typing the following command in your Ubuntu CLI.

$ sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

Solved ;-)
