Installing fails: mysql_config not found

I want to upgrade from pattern 2.6 to 3.6 I uninstalled, and now I do:

sudo pip install pattern

and get EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

You don’t have root on all machines where you might want to use pattern, and I also do not see a reason why mysql-client should be a required dependency. Especially when the documentation mentions:

The module has no external dependencies except when using LSA in the pattern.vector module, which requires NumPy

Please make optional dependencies optional.

I got it working with no errors.

• OS: Ubuntu 19.04
• Anaconda environment: python 3.6

make sure you install libmysqlclient-dev first!

sudo apt install libmysqlclient-dev
git clone https://github.com/clips/pattern
cd pattern/
# activate conda environment.
python setup.py install

output after running python setup.py install:
