How to fix this - ERROR: Failed building wheel for mysqlclient

Hi, I'm running into this blocking issue while setting up Django with MySQL database. I'm pasting here what I tried so far on Ubuntu 18.04 OS.

$ sudo apt install nginx mysql-server python3-pip python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev   $ sudo apt install mysql-client  $ sudo mysql_secure_installation  $ sudo mysql ( configured new db requirements )  $ sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade pip  $ sudo -H pip3 install virtualenv  $ pip install django gunicorn mysqlclient (virtualenv)   

This is where mysqlclient was not getting installed. Here is the error snippet.

(vkdev)user@ubuntu-hejjjj:~/testproject$ pip install mysqlclient  Collecting mysqlclient    Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/d0/97/7326248ac8d5049968bf4ec708a5d3d4806e412a42e74160d7f266a3e03a/mysqlclient-1.4.6.tar.gz  Building wheels for collected packages: mysqlclient    Building wheel for mysqlclient (setup.py) ... error    ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:  .......     .......    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status    error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1    ----------------------------------------    ERROR: Failed building wheel for mysqlclient    Running setup.py clean for mysqlclient  Failed to build mysqlclient  Installing collected packages: mysqlclient      Running setup.py install for mysqlclient ... error      ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:  

Since mysqlclient install is failed here, I continued to try these steps but I don't have luck so far.

$ pip install django gunicorn (virtualenv)  $ sudo apt install python3-dev libmysqlclient-dev  $ sudo apt-get install python3-pymysql  $ sudo apt-get install python3.6-dev  $ sudo apt-get install python3.7-dev libmysqlclient-dev gcc default-libmysqlclient-dev  

I appreciate if someone has a clue with appropriate steps.

Thanks
