How to fix: Library not loaded: @rpath/libmysqlclient.21.dylib ImportError in Django (Mac)

Are you getting this error when trying to connect a MySQL database to your Django project:
ImportError: ... 2): Library not loaded: @rpath/libmysqlclient.21.dylib
Reason: image not found


SOLUTION 1
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.21.dylib /usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.21.dylib


SOLUTION 2
(NOTE: In both these instructions, change the file name - _mysql.cpython-38-darwin.so - to match what you have in your system.)
otool -L _mysql.cpython-38-darwin.so


install_name_tool -change @rpath/libmysqlclient.21.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.21.dylib _mysql.cpython-38-darwin.so
