macOS Requirements

- MacOS ≥ 11
- OpenSSL ≥ 3.0
- Boost ≥ 1.74
- MySQL ≥ 8.0.0
- CMake ≥ 3.16

• Install XCode using the App Store, then open the terminal and type:

xcode-select --install

• Install the package manager Homebrew

Use brew it to install the required packages:

brew update

brew install openssl@3 readline cmake boost coreutils bash bash-completion coreutils

This will install bash 5+, you might need to restart your terminal. Make sure you are using bash 5 or newer by typing bash --version.

Now install mysql:

brew install mysql

You will be prompted some instructions to complete the mysql installation, for example to properly set a password. Just follow the instructions and properly configure mysql. This step is important, do not skip it.

To verify that mysql has been properly installed, try accessing it using either the command line (e.g. mysql -u root -p) or using DB client managers with a UI like Sequel Ace.

You can install Sequel Ace with:

brew install --cask sequel-ace
