Resolved: How can I Download MySQL Server and Workbench on a Mac?

Basically, the installation of MySQL Workbench on a Mac differs from the installation process on Windows.

First, please refer to the following lecture which explains how to install Workbench on a Mac by using Homebrew:

https://learn.365datascience.com/courses/sql/installing-mysql-on-macos-and-unix-systems/

Then, if the suggestions/instructions provided there do not work in your case, here’s an alternative solution which involves no actual installer. You just need to download two DMG Archive files, and then use them to install the program.

From this link, https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/,

you need to download a Community Server that is for the Mac OS X operating system.

Then, from this link, https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/,

download the only DMG Archive file available.

After you have installed them, open the first DMG Archive and follow the instructions.

Please remember any passwords you create or see on the way, as you will need them when starting the MySQL server.
