It's either that mysql_config isn't in your PATH or it's not installed.
Try locating it using which mysql_config and if it's found add its path to your PATH.
Otherwise, intall libmysqlclient-dev.
Assuming you're on Ubuntu use: sudo apt -y install libmysqlclient-dev.
After that try installing the requirements again.
