mysql2 gem installation on linux

I am trying to install a gem on linux but it is giving me an error:

An error occured while installing mysql2 (0.3.11), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that gem install mysql2 -v '0.3.11' succeeds before bundling.

What do I need to do now?

Probably, it can't build mysql2 native extension.

If you're using Ubuntu 14.04 or newer, try sudo apt-get install ruby-mysql libmysqlclient-dev.

On older versions of Ubuntu install this: sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby libmysqlclient-dev

On OS X: brew install mysql

There are also similar questions: 1, 2, 3.
