Install python-mysqldb with lampp on Ubuntu

I try to download python-mysqldb from "http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/"

and run the build/install command:

python setup.py build

I receive this message: EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

I set mysql_config to "/opt/lampp/bin/mysql_config" (I use lampp) and encounter this error message:

cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mpentiumpro"
cc1: warning: command line option "-felide-constructors" is valid for C++/ObjC++ but not for C
cc1: warning: command line option "-fno-rtti" is valid for C++/ObjC++ but not for C
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

so I type
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

and find that I can finally import MySQLdb in python

Use NVM to handle Angular-Node.js incompatibility (e.g., Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export')

Overview If you are a fullstack developer, the chances are that you will be creating multiple frontend or Node.js projects along the way. When you are creating new projects using the newest version of the cli (command-line interface) of a particular framework, you might be asked to install the most updated version of Node.js in order to utilize the newest feature. This might involve upgrading your Node.js version, which might not be compatible with other existing projects (e.g., using Angular) you have created before. A potential solution is to use nvm (Node Version Manager) to install multiple versions of Node.js and use a particular version of the Node.js to install the proper version of the cli (e.g., Angular-CLI) that can be used to manage a particular project. Here I will use a problem I run into to explain how to solve it. Problem There is a compatibility issue between Node.js and angular.js. For instance, I run into an error when I was using an incompatible version of Node.js ...

Setting MySQL to Use UTF-8 on MAMP (MySQL 5.5.9, or 5+)

I wanted to setup MySQL to use utf-8 on the MAMP installation on my Mac. I tried the instructions from this article: http://cameronyule.com/2008/07/configuring-mysql-to-use-utf-8/ However, I kept getting error messages that are similar to this one [ERROR] /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqld: unknown variable 'default-collation=utf8_general_ci' I did some search and realized that several variables are deprecated. Reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/server-options.html Therefore, I added the following lines into /Applications/MAMP/conf/my.cnf [mysql] character-set-server=utf8 [client] character-set-server=utf8 [mysqld] character-set-server=utf8 collation-server=utf8_general_ci init-connect='SET NAMES utf8' I restarted the server and mysql run successfully with relevant variables being set correctly. In the "Variables" tab under phpMyAdmin interface (ex. http://localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English) character set c...
