title: How to install MySQL 5.6 on OSX Mojave?
body: <p>I need to install MySQL 5.6 on my Mac, running under Mojave. (Because AWS Aurora <strong>Serverless</strong> only allows MySQL 5.6)</p>
  
  <p>That wouldn't be an issue if a <code>.dmg</code> was available, but there are none for MacOS for this particular version, too old I guess?</p>
  
  <p>See <a href="https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.6.html" rel="noreferrer">https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.6.html</a></p>

  <p>No Mac OS in the list. I tried to play around with the URL to see if there was a non-reference dmg file, but no luck.</p>
  
  <p>Which leads me to two choices:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Install it from source (is it possible? how?)</li>
  <li>Install it in a Docker container</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I don't know what's the most simple/straightforward way to install it. It's only meant to be used locally.</p>
