- Download the disk image (
.dmg
) file (the community version is available here) that contains the MySQL package installer. Double-click the file to mount the disk image and see its contents.Double-click the MySQL installer package from the disk. It is named according to the version of MySQL you have downloaded.

- After a successful new MySQL Server installation, complete the configuration steps by choosing the default encryption type for passwords, define the root password, and also enable (or disable) MySQL server at startup.
- The default MySQL 8.0 password mechanism is
caching_sha2_password
(Strong), and this step allows you to change it tomysql_native_password
(Legacy).Figure 2.15 MySQL Package Installer Wizard: Choose a Password Encryption TypeChoosing the legacy password mechanism alters the generated launchd file to set--default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password
underProgramArguments
. Choosing strong password encryption does not set--default_authentication_plugin
because the default MySQL Server value is used, which iscaching_sha2_password
. - Define a password for the root user, and also toggle whether MySQL Server should start after the configuration step is complete.Figure 2.16 MySQL Package Installer Wizard: Define Root Password
