How to Install MYSQL Preference Pane? [closed]

Question

Quick question.

I have been trying to make MySQL work to no luck. When I downloaded MySQL from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ (the latest version for Mac, 5.7.21), I followed all the instructions. When I go to System Preferences and click on the MySQL icon, it tells me:

Preferences Error: Could not load MySQL Preference Pane. Any solution to this?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Same problem with MySQL Preference Pane after updating from 5.7.20 to 5.7.21.

The solution for me was to remove MySQL Preference Pane (https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-remove-preference-panes-from-mac-2260890) and install it again from the 5.7.20 DMG Archive (https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/community).

Answer 2

I had the same problem. Uninstall MySQL completely and install MySQL 5.6 instead worked fine for me.
