Mysql 5.6 Installation errors in Mac M1

Question

System version - macOS Monterey (12.4) Chip - Apple M1 Pro

Objective - I want to install [email protected] using brew as per requirement. Any other methods are also welcomed.

Steps followed -

1. run command for installing mysql 5.6 (brew install [email protected])

Warning: [email protected] has been deprecated because it is not supported upstream!
Error: [email protected]: no bottle available!
You can try to install from source with:
  brew install --build-from-source [email protected]
Please note building from source is unsupported. You will encounter build
failures with some formulae. If you experience any issues please create pull
requests instead of asking for help on Homebrew's GitHub, Twitter or any other
official channels

2. run prompted command (brew install --build-from-source [email protected])

getting the same make error. I searched on google but not found anything relevant.

Answer 1

Since you're trying to install a deprecated package that won't be translated to the M1 architecture, my recommendation is to use Rosetta to install it.

You can follow the steps here to setup a terminal running with Rosetta.

You'll know you're in a Rosetta terminal when you get i386 when running the arch command in your terminal.

Perform the installation steps there using homebrew. Please note the slightly different installation folder when installing with a Rosetta terminal vs native terminal.

The service should run using brew services start [email protected].
