Fail to run MySQL in Mac OSX 10.5.8 - mysql

my mac is a powerPC. and I have tried both 64 bit and 32 bit version of MySQL.
Both return me "bad CPU type in executable" when I try to do this /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
I followed all the steps as specified in the mysql official website.
Well.. I have put my question in superuser.com but that site just too few people .

MySQL dropped support for PowerPC in version 5.1.40
The last version 5.1.40 can be found here

Installed mySQL 8, but want to go back to mySQL version 5.7

I have mySQL version 8.0.22 running on my Linux Mint 20.04 machine.
I want to install mySQL 5.7 instead, as version 8 is giving collation errors etc.
I had gone through few threads, but confused.
Kindly point me to any reliable resource or let me know how to do it.
Thanks a lot in advance.
This's MySql Version 5.7.3 For Linux

MacOS: Unable to run MySQL Workbench

I have been trying to run MySQL workbench on my macOS Catalina 10.15.2 for a long time now. I have been using MySQL from the CLI. But recently when I tried to switch to the workbench, there has been some issue with the launching of the Workbench Application.
MySQL server works well from the CLI. But whenever I try to open the workbench, it opens and closes automatically within seconds. I have tried installing the older version of the workbench and also tried reinstalling the whole SQL server. None of it has helped me so far. I even tried searching the issue, but most issues are related to the crashing of the application or failure of connection with the database.
I have even tried running the application from the command line and also "open in low resolution". But none it has worked for me :/
It'd be very helpful if someone could help me out.
Thanks!
MySQL server: 8.0.19,
MySQL Workbench: 8.0.19
Downloading the 8.0.22 version from https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/ worked for me, (Im using macOs Big Sur version 11.1)
I was having a similar problem (the workbench not launching) until I clicked on the link to the version 8.0.22 of the mySQL workbench posted by Hando and it works. I use MacOS Catalina. This is the link again https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/
yes, version .22 worked for me as well. I did get a 'security' error but was able to go into preferences security/privacy, and 'allow' this app which was NOT loaded from the apple app store.
I am using macOS Catalina 10.15.7 and I fixed this issue by downloading MySQL Workbench 8.0.17 and it worked! :)

Unable to start MySQL server on MacOS

I am following a video tutorial on Udemy about setting up and running MySQL server. The image below illustrates my current directory and the error I am getting.
Error message
Additional Details:
1) Operating System: OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan
2) I have only one installation of MySQL.
3) I executed "export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=..." already
4) I tried changing ownership of the mysql folder to both mysql and root, but neither measure worked out.
Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions. I found other people struggling with the same issue who also are using a OSX 10.11 - loaded laptop.
There is a forum post about it here:
https://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,646207,646207#msg-646207
I ended up installing an older version of MySQL via homebrew:
brew install mysql#5.6
and it worked out fine.

Unable to start mysql 5.6 on Mac

I installed mysql 5.6 using homebrew but haven't been able to start it/login using Sequel pro.
When I run mysql.server start in the terminal I am getting this error -
ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file
I had installed mysql 8 first,but uninstalled it since I needed 5.6
My prefPane was showing an instance of mysql 8 but not showing any instance now.
The activity monitor isnt showing mysqld so doesn't look like mysql is running.
My OS is High Sierra
I ran into a similar problem on Mojave and the error was around "unknown variable 'mysqlx-bind-address=127.0.0.1'" when I attempted to get 5.6 running using Homebrew. I couldn't figure out how to sort this out so eventually switched to the official Mysql docs and installed version 5.7 using the dmg version and that worked like a charm. (since 5.6 wasn't available for macOS at the time of writing)

How to install MySQL 5.6.3 (beta) on Ubuntu?

has anyone managed to install MySQL 5.6.3 (beta) on Ubuntu? I tried running alien against the server rpm but encountered the following error:
error in Version string '5.6.3_m6-2': invalid character in version number
Thanks

if you are still looking for a solution then you could also try using the instructions at http://www.geeksww.com/tutorials/database_management_systems/mysql/installation/download_configure_compile_and_install_mysql_56.php
this is for the latest available production-ready release ie. 5.6.10 but should also work with previous versions.
Take a look at this: http://www.denoq.com/2012/02/mysql-5-6-4-on-ubuntu-11-10/
I've not tried that but it appears reasonable to your problem: first install an older version, than change only the necessary.
