MariaDB config file not found

Describe the bug Working on setting up a production environment on a fresh install of ubuntu 20.04.3. Went thru the steps listed on the readthedocs site (using mysql/MariaDB). When I enter the “pip3 install mysqlclient mariadb” command (in the virtual environment) I get the following …

` (env) inventree@Meta:~$ pip3 install mysqlclient mariadb Collecting mysqlclient Using cached mysqlclient-2.1.0.tar.gz (87 kB) Collecting mariadb Using cached mariadb-1.0.8.zip (85 kB)

Please make sure, that MariaDB Connector/C is installed on your system.
Either set the environment variable MARIADB_CONFIG or edit the configuration
file 'site.cfg' and set the 'mariadb_config option, which should point
to the mariadb_config utility.
The MariaDB Download website at <https://downloads.mariadb.com/Connectors/c/>
provides latest stable releease of Connector/C.

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output. ’

I am somewhat new to python env so I’m unsure of where to look for the specified config files or how they relate to the environment variables.

Expected behavior Unsure of expected behavior, When I move on to the next steps (creating database and user within MySQL) the database is created but I get the following when trying to grant permissions…

’ mysql> CREATE USER ‘inventree’@‘%’ IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY ‘doors2021!’; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.12 sec)

mysql> GRANT ALL ON inventree.* TO ‘djangouser’@‘%’; ERROR 1410 (42000): You are not allowed to create a user with GRANT ’

Deployment Method
