Does MySQL app support MacBook Air with M4 chip

By MYSQL do you mean the MYSQL server or a MYSQL interface app?

Yes, there is a version of MYSQL Server that can be installed and run on a M4 Mac.

You can download the Mac version of MYSQL Enterprise server directly from the Oracle website and double click the DMG package to initiate the install. This version is not free. You must pay a license to use it.

Or are you looking for the Free Community version?

The question is why do you need MYSQL?

MYSLQ is a Database platform, on its own it has no interface beyond the terminal access.

You need something else to interface with it, and that's usually some website or app and a web server package that allows you to access it.

If you mean apps that can connect to a MYSQL database to run queries, you can use MYSQL Workbench to interface with the database server in a friendlier graphic interface.

For web development, things like MAMP, include MYSLQ or Maria DB for the same general purpose along side Apache web sever to build websites.

I like Dbeaver for queries and table management.

Perhaps if you explain what you are trying to do, e can offer more specific advice.

Building on the previous reply…

Based solely on what and how you're asking this question, and given the morass over at the Oracle MySQL website (here is free community version), you likely really want to use the MAMP or XAMPP packages or such, because you’re probably looking to establish the prerequisites for some other tool or service, and probably something web-facing or web-associated, and MAMP, MAMP Pro, and XAMPP packages are far better at providing a complete and integrated package of related tools.

Because otherwise, you’re not only going to get to install and configure the individual pieces, you’ll also need to integrate the pieces together.

If you have some other use for Oracle MySQL or (the intentionally compatible but not Oracle) MariaDB database,(free community version), or PostgreSQL, or the built-in ~everywhere SQLite database, or any of the other fine database choices, might want to provide a few more details.

Be very careful around Oracle MySQL product licensing here too, as Oracle has a number of decidedly-not-free product options and permutations available.

I too have used the DBeaver app to manage the database contents.

If you are looking to run a web server and some web apps or content management system locally, that adds requirements around IP addressing and DNS and your firewall, and particularly around local network security as all of the major CMS apps and adjuncts get routinely probed for any configuration issues or other vulnerabilities.
