MySQL for macOS is available in a number of different forms:

  • Native Package Installer, which uses the native macOS installer (DMG) to walk you through the installation of MySQL. For more information, see Chapter 2, Installing MySQL on macOS Using Native Packages. You can use the package installer with macOS. The user you use to perform the installation must have administrator privileges.

  • Compressed TAR archive, which uses a file packaged using the Unix tar and gzip commands. To use this method, you will need to open a Terminal window. You do not need administrator privileges using this method, as you can install the MySQL server anywhere using this method. For more information on using this method, you can use the generic instructions for using a tarball, Installing MySQL on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries.

    In addition to the core installation, the Package Installer also includes Chapter 3, Installing a MySQL Launch Daemon and Chapter 4, Installing and Using the MySQL Preference Pane, both of which simplify the management of your installation.

For additional information on using MySQL on macOS, see Chapter 5, General Notes on Installing MySQL on macOS.

I am more of a command line user when accessing MySQL, but MySQLWorkBench is by far a great tool. However, I am not a fan of installing a database on my local machine and prefer to use an old computer on my network to handle that. Top 10 features for mac os high sierra 2016. If you have an old Mac or PC, wipe it and install Linux Server command line only software on it. Machines as old as 10/15 years and older can support Linux easily. You don't even need that much RAM either but I'd got with minimum of 4GB for MySQL.


Or..


Use Virtualbox by Oracle to create a virtual server on your local machine. I recommend Centos 7 or Ubuntu 18.04. The latter I used to use exclusively but it has too many updates every other week, whereas Centos 7 updates less often and is as secure regardless. But you will need to learn about firewalls, and securing SSH because SSH is how you will access the virtual machine for maintenance. You will have to learn how to add/delete users, how to use sudo so you can perform root based commands etc. There is a lot more to the picture than meets the eye when you want to use a database.


I strongly recommend not installing MySQL on your local machine but use a Virtual Machine or an old machine that you can connect to on your local area network. It will give you a better understanding of security when you have to deal with a firewall and it is always a good practice to never have a database on the same server/computer as your project. Databases are for the backend where access is secure and severely limited to just one machine via ssh-keys or machine id. If you don't have the key or ID you ain't getting access to the DB.
