Do I need to install MySQL server before installing Askbot?

edit

I am a little confused when reading Askbot installation doc.

It implies that we don't need to install MySQL server on the box, doesn't Askbot need a DB backend?

Thanks,

(Similar questions go to Apache server, and mod_wsgi modules)

What I have done is show below

#sudo python setup.py develop

#askbot-setup

#sudo pip install mysql-python

Here is the error message I got
