Before you install, it is important to run update and upgrade;

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Either install connector for Python 2;

sudo apt-get -y install python-mysql.connector

Or install connector for Python 3;

sudo apt-get -y install python3-mysql.connector

I found no way to install mysql-connector-python that I used with windows. for python 3.4 I used the command

sudo python3 -m pip install pymysql

for python 2.7 you can use following commands

 sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

or

sudo apt-get install python-pip
pip install pymysql

Just use $sudo apt-get install python3-mysqldb and it works on pi-3.

  • it's answering exactly what the person requested for, I thought it's a straight forward answer for someone who might be visiting this page again. Thanks. – Bhanu Shree R Jan 12 '18 at 19:07
  • How does this differ substantially from the other answers? It's essentially a duplicate. –  Jan 12 '18 at 19:17
