pip mysqlclient 설치 오류 (metadata-generation-failed)

문제상황: pip으로 ubuntu machine에 mysqlclient를 설치하는데 오류가 났다.

$ pip install mysqlclient
Collecting mysqlclient==2.1.1 (from -r requirements.txt (line 32))
  Using cached mysqlclient-2.1.1.tar.gz (88 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.

          metadata, options = get_config()

          libs = mysql_config("libs")
        File "[PATH]/setup_posix.py", line 31, in mysql_config
          raise OSError("{} not found".format(_mysql_config_path))
      OSError: mysql_config not found
      mysql_config --version
      mariadb_config --version
      mysql_config --libs
      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
