How to use Mysql in Django

1.) Edit your settings.py file like:

DATABASES = {
'default': {
    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
    'NAME': 'DB_NAME',
    'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
    'PORT': '3306',
    'USER': 'root',
    'PASSWORD': '',
}}

2.) (a). sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
     (b). pip install MySQL-python 

That's it!! you have configured Django with MySQL in a very easy way.

Now run your Django project:

3.) python manage.py migrate
