How to install MySQL 5.6 on OSX Mojave?

I'd recommend using homebrew to be honest. I think it's brew install [email protected] if you have homebrew installed already.

You may need to also add the install bin directory to your system path, but the command output will tell you what to do if so.

To install:

brew install [email protected]

To have launchd start [email protected] now and restart at login:

brew services start [email protected]

Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run:

/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/mysql.server start
