I installed this package on my ubuntu but it doesn't work and return this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "try.py", line 38, in <module>
    create_database("employee")

    raise Exception("The location of Firebird Client Library could not be determined.")
Exception: The location of Firebird Client Library could not be determined.

This is a support question. You need Firebird client installed (libfbclient.so). If you have it installed, check whether it could be found by ctypes (https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html#finding-shared-libraries). You may also specify it directly via configuration (see https://firebird-driver.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage-guide.html#the-driver-config-object)
