need help Installing mysql server v5.6 - mysql

Installing my SQL for the first time, MySQL server seems to be missing in recommended windows installer. any download i try activates the default installer and it does not show mysql server.
if i try to add server dosen't show up.
Now i have downloaded server 5.6 manually but do not have any way to install them.
i tried to install by steps in this website https://www.sitepoint.com/how-to-install-mysql/
but mysqld didn't run properly. it had following error

Seems none of 8.0 is compatible with previous versions(x86). I had to install server version 5.7 manually(offline installer) with 6.2 workbench for mysql to run on 32bit pc.
i had to uninstall all cleanly or else the default installer would not provide with new packages that i downloaded.

I found the issue.
When you install with the Installer 1.4, it won't work.
You should be good if you use V.1.6 of the installer.

Installing mySQL on Windows

Downloaded and run the installer from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
After installing it opened MySQL Workbench but I can't connect to localhost (I notice that the installer didn't ask for a root password), and I can't see a MySQL service in services.msc.
Is there something that I need to do -- in addition to running the installer -- to get it to work? (And is this documented?)
Run the installer for a second time and choose Reconfigure.

MySQL installer only installs the Workbench, not the server

I have successfully downloaded the workbench and it works fine, however, in my C:/ProgramFiles/MySQL folder, only the workbench is there, and not the server itself. I can't add MySQL to my PATH, nor can I run any local server.
I downloaded it from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/, and I chose the 420.6M version for Windows, and ran it normally. Is it actually installed?
Uninstalled MySQL workbench and re ran the installer and it worked. The reason why, I'm guessing, is because I installed only the workbench awhile ago. When the new installer saw I had the workbench installed, it just stopped checking to install other products like MySQL server.

How to uninstall MySQL 5.7 installed through MacPorts?

Using this MacPorts guide, I installed MySQL 5.7 on my Mac.
I want to uninstall it now but I can't find any documentation specific to removing just the MySQL server I installed through MacPorts.
I found this guide and others similar to it on how to completely remove MySQL on a Mac, and followed every single step listed.
However, when I issue the command, sudo port load mysql57-server, I can still load the MySQL server.
So how can I completely remove MySQL 5.7 installed through MacPorts?
Turns out, it's really simple - sudo port uninstall mysql57-server.
That removed MySQL 5.7 installed through MacPorts.

How can i install mysql again as i installed workbench mistakenlt once?

I installed mysql workbench mistakenly. but now i can't install mysql community server. Please tell me how to do it?
I doubt that MySQL Workbench's installation really prevents you from installing a MySQL server. There must be a different problem. Use the MySQL Installer for Windows, which gives you everything you need related to MySQL. It should also recognize the installed WB and offer you updates, if there are any.
It is better to uninstall workbench and then setup community server.
If you are doing this in windows
