How do I Install MySQLdb in Python? Before proceeding, you make sure you have MySQLdb installed on your machine. Just type the following in your Python script and execute it − If it produces the following result, then it means MySQLdb module is not installed − Note − Make sure you have root privilege to install above module.
For Ubuntu, use the following command - $ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libmysqlclient-dev For Fedora, use the following command - $ sudo dnf install python python-devel mysql-devel redhat-rpm-config gcc For Python command prompt, use the following command - pip install MySQL-python
I am using python programs on a few ubuntu machines that connect to various mysql databases, all working fine using mysqldb in the python script.
You can install it via yum
, it is case sensitive:
[root@localhost ~]# yum install MySQL-python
