Error Installing Flask-mysqldb

I am running Windows 10 and Python 3.6.3 . I am trying to install flask-mysqldb using pip install flask-mysqldb. It fails with the following: Command 'c:\users...\appdata\local\

Solution 1:

On windows computers, mysql connector is a better alternative.

Install it using:

pip install mysql-connector

I hope that solves your problem.
