how to install mysqlclient python library in linux?

I have a Django project and I want to deploy it on a server.But I'm unable to connect mysql.
I have tried different alternatives but I can't fixed this problem.(I have kali linux operating system)
This is the error I am receiving when installing mysqlclient:

Did you install mysqlclient?

You will need some additional libraries installed.
Please refer to its project description: https://pypi.org/project/mysqlclient/
Linux
Note that this is a basic step. I can not support complete step for build for all environment. If you can see some error, you should fix it by yourself, or ask for support in some user forum. Don't file a issue on the issue tracker.
You may need to install the Python 3 and MySQL development headers and libraries like so:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev build-essential # Debian / Ubuntu
% sudo yum install python3-devel mysql-devel # Red Hat / CentOS
Then you can install mysqlclient via pip now:
$ pip install mysqlclient
Hope it helps!

First install python 3.6.5, then run
pip install mysqlclient==1.3.12
sudo apt-get install python-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install python3-dev
pip install mysqlclient
Assume you are activating Python 3 venv
brew install mysql
pip install mysqlclient
Step 1: Installing MySQL Client
You can install MySQL client directly through pip using the command
pip install mysqlclient

Linux: Python can't download pip

I'm running Ubuntu focal fossa 20.04, and I just tried installing python. It worked, however, I can't use pip. I tried looking up answers but that didn't fix it. Here is the problem.
Terminal
Input
user#hostname:~$ python3 get-pip.py
Output
python3: can't open file '/home/user/get-pip.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
(Edit)Followed first answer;

Update, installed zlib, had to download a different get-pip.py, and it worked!

I've never seen get-pip.py, but after a quick research, it looks like this is a manual way of installing pip.
However you need to actually download the script. It's not something that's bundled with Python.
To manually install pip, securely 1 download get-pip.py by following this link: get-pip.py. Alternatively, use curl: curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
Please review: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/

I really need help :
I’ve been trying --reinstall and does not work.

I believe that you are using the wrong pip with the wrong python version.
From what I am seeing, you are trying to use the pip for python2.x with python3.x. The most simple solution is to use the corresponding pip versions with the python version.
For example:
pip -> python2.7
pip3 -> python3 - python3.7 most usually python3.6
pip3.8 -> python3.8
and so on ...
Alternative Solutions include ...
Solution #1:
Go to your .bashrc file and add
alias pip=python3.8 -m pip # 3.8 can be replaced with pip version
Save and restart your terminal.
Solution #2:
Uninstall python3.8 and build it from source. Check this tutorial on how to do that.

Thanks to Deep_Thoughts to try help me, dude i solve the error and conflites manually installing pip in each python version using get-pip.py script.
https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
I download it and run for every python version. now
pip
is run right.

Pip is broken and I don't have admin permission

I have poured about 6 hours into this issue now and I'm getting farther and farther. Here's what happened.
I am using a shared Linux machine that has both Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 and I don't have admin privileges. I was using Python 3.5 and I wanted to use the package seaborn and I found out the specific labeling feature I wanted was only available in a newer version. So no problem "pip3 install seaborn --upgrade".
Everything was happening so fast but something went wrong and by the suggestion of the internet, I ended up upgrading a few other packages like matplotlib, setuptools, and eventually pip itself.
Here's where it really went wrong. Pip just broke. This happens when I run pip3 --version:
Traceback (most recent call last):

The first line in the call stack is "from pip import main" so I tried running pip --version instead of pip3 and now I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pip", line 9, in <module>
from pip import main
ImportError: cannot import name main
This error is all over the internet as a bug in pip itself but all every solution involves something that I don't have permission to do. I tried to uninstall and reinstall an older version of pip using "python -m pip ..." but this did not help with the pip3 error, which prompted the same error a few lines later. And I can't use this shortcut with pip3 (python3 -m pip...) because this error occurs anyway.
Worst part is that my original program is now completely dead. I can't even import seaborn at all without crashing.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/u/hailey/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 861, in __setitem__

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

KeyError: 'axes.color_cycle is not a valid rc parameter. See rcParams.keys() for a list of valid parameters.'
At this point, I decided everything would be easier if I just downloaded my own clean version of Python in a local directory where I have privileges. So I downloaded and set up a new version of Python 3.6 in a local directory. Then I ran my original program with this and I was told I had no module named 'numpy'. Reasonable. Let's try to install numpy.
Obtaining file:///u/hailey/python36/Python-3.6.0

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /u/hailey/python36/Python-3.6.0/
Now I'm led to a page that recommends running "setup.py install", which sounds simple enough. But nope.
bash: /u/hailey/python36/Python-3.6.0/setup.py: Permission denied
Now I'm giving up because evidently I know nothing about Python. I would really appreciate some help with this. At this point, even just recovering the state I had yesterday would be fine as I can live without the extra label on my seaborn graph. Thanks everyone!

So far I have already tried to run sudo apt remove python3-pip then running sudo apt install python3-pip but that doesnt work. And I also looked at doing this, look at the code portion below, to try and uninstall and then reinstall pip3, but nothing I have done so far seems to be working.
sudo apt purge python3-pip
sudo rm -rf '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip'
sudo apt install python3-pip
cd
cd .local/lib/python3/site-packages
sudo rm -rf pip*
cd
cd .local/lib/python3.5/site-packages
sudo rm -rf pip*
sudo pip3 install xlwt

Are you sure that installed pip is linked to pip3? I had a similar error some time ago. The installed pip for my python version was simply linked to pip, while there was an old version liked to pip3. Just try run:
pip --version
This shows you if its pip for python 2 or 3.
