mysqlclient==1.3.12 errorring on pip install

I'm running python 3.6.8 on a Ubuntu 18.04 VPS and trying to install a Django project with mysqlclient==1.3.12.

When I run pip install -r requirements.txt (in the virtual environment), I'm getting this error

    ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:
     command: /var/www/authenticjobs/env/bin/python3 -c 'import sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'/tmp/pip-install-uzc9j1dl/mysqlclient/setup.py'"'"'; __file__='"'"'/tmp/pip-install-uzc9j1dl/mysqlclient/setup.py'"'"';f=getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' egg_info --egg-base pip-egg-info

    OSError: mysql_config not found

I know MySQL is install because when I run systemctl status mysql.service, I get

● mysql.service - MySQL Community Server
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/mysql.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2019-09-11 10:25:22 UTC; 4min 3s ago

   CGroup: /system.slice/mysql.service
           └─9092 /usr/sbin/mysqld --daemonize --pid-file=/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

What am I missing?

You must install mysql client tools/libraries. You have the sever installed not the client.
