## Installation

<Note>
  🐍 Don't forget to [install the AppSignal for Python package](/python/installation) in your application first.
</Note>

The installation instructions differ based on the MySQL adapter package you are using:

* [`mysql`](#using-mysql) (from the `mysql-connector-python` package)
* [`mysqlclient`](#using-mysqlclient)
* [`pymysql`](#using-pymysql)

<Warning>
  When using [SQLAlchemy](/python/instrumentations/sqlalchemy), **do not** install these instrumentation packages. The instrumentation for SQLAlchemy will automatically instrument queries to the underlying database. Installing both instrumentation packages will result in duplicate events.
</Warning>

### Using `mysql`

<Compatibility
  versions={[
{ name: "AppSignal for Python", version: "1.3.2" },
{ name: "mysql-connector-python", version: "8.0.0" },
]}
/>

When using the `mysql-connector-python` MySQL adapter package (which is imported as `mysql`), install the `opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysql` package. To add it to your project, add the following line to your `requirements.txt` file:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}

  <PythonDisableInstrumentations />
  # requirements.txt
  opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysql
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Using `mysqlclient`

<Compatibility versions={[{ name: "AppSignal for Python", version: "1.3.2" }]} />

When using the `mysqlclient` MySQL adapter package, install the `opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysqlclient` package. To add it to your project, add the following line to your `requirements.txt` file:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  # requirements.txt
  opentelemetry-instrumentation-mysqlclient
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Using `pymysql`

<Compatibility versions={[{ name: "AppSignal for Python", version: "1.3.2" }]} />

When using the `pymysql` MySQL adapter package, install the `opentelemetry-instrumentation-pymysql` package. To add it to your project, add the following line to your `requirements.txt` file:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  # requirements.txt
  opentelemetry-instrumentation-pymysql
  ```
</CodeGroup>
