If `pip install mysqlclient` fails, try installing build essentials first: `brew install gcc`. Also, ensure you have the MySQL client libraries installed. If you still encounter issues, check the error message carefully for specific clues. Sometimes, you might need to explicitly specify the MySQL library path during installation using environment variables (though this is less common with Homebrew).
