You are getting mysql_config not found on your system instantly. To eliminate this problem, ensure to have pip install MySQL on your system.
For instance, on Debian or Ubuntu, you must download the package:
Sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
Maybe the mysql_config is not present in your path, and it will be the case when you compile by yourself the MySQL suite.
For newer versions of Debian or Ubuntu, it is:
Sudo apt install default-libmysqlclient-dev
