Error starting DJango server when installing Mysql

Question

I just started to create a new project with Django.

I have installed MySql and MySql client for Python. But this error happens when I try to run the server.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb



ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'MySQLdb'
........
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module.
Did you install mysqlclient?``

check this stackoverflow.com/questions/15312732/…

SOLVED. I needed to use install the mysqlDB with python3. But now this error appears.
Someone?

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: mysqlclient 1.3.13 or newer is required;

you have 1.3.10.

You need to install mysql-client, not mysql-python.

Try to install mysql-client and you will find many mysql-client wheels.

Download the first one, do not change the name of the file
open command prompt
use cd to go to the directory where your wheel has been installed
then use pip install (name of file) #use .whl as well

if it doesn't work, download the second one and repeat the process, if that doesn't work as well, keep on downloading until I guarantee you that at least one of them would be installed in your computer
