I have been trying to run pip3 install mariadb
on my raspberry pi running ubuntu 18.04 and I was unsuccessful.
I have tried installing following packages as suggested in other answers:
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server
sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
pip3 install mysqlclient
pip3 install mysql-connector-python-rf
However, I'm still running intto the problem as shown:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ pip3 install mariadb

Please make sure, that MariaDB Connector/C is installed on your system, edit the configuration file 'site.cfg' and set the 'mariadb_config'
option, which should point to the mariadb_config utility.
----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-2gdw_t_r/mariadb/
I do have /etc/mysql/my.cnf
file.
It looks like that you didn't install MariaDB Connector/C properly, on Ubuntu mariadb_config should be found in /usr/bin.
Please also note, that MariaDB Connector/Python requires MariaDB Connector/C 3.1.5 or newer, afaik Ubuntu 18.04 provides 3.0.3 - so simplest way would be to download the Connector/C sources and build it manually.
