Hi,

If you installed Homebrew on your MacBook Pro, it's quite easy to install MySQL on Big Sur Mac.

https://brew.sh

After installed Homebrew, type:


% brew install mysql


#Setting security

% brew services start mysql

% mysql_secure_installation

#type "n"

Press y|Y for Yes, any other key for No: "n"

#type new password
New password:

Re-enter new password:#type the password you create above

#Try to run mysql
% mysql -uroot -p
Enter password: #type password you create


That's all.

Good luck
