# Install mysql@8.0 with Homebrew, apt, dnf, apk, chocolatey, pacman, scoop, winget, zypper Open source relational database management system. Version 8.0.46 via Homebrew; verified 2026-07-07. ## Install ```sh sudo av install brew:mysql@8.0 ``` ## Agent safety answer mysql@8.0 provides MySQL client/server tooling with database mutation authority. - **Credential access:** Reads database passwords, option files, socket paths, and environment credentials. - **Remote mutation:** Can alter, drop, import, or export databases. - **Publish/artifact risk:** Can create dumps or imports containing sensitive data. - **Recommended control:** Gate destructive SQL, dumps, imports, and credential file access. - **Agent-use guidance:** Allow safe metadata queries; require approval for writes, exports, and credential reads.

Its release notes trace the series from development milestone 8.0.0 on September 12, 2016, through general-availability 8.0.11 on April 19, 2018. The 8.0 reference manual lists major technical changes that made the series a substantial upgrade over 5.7, including a transactional data dictionary, atomic DDL, automatic upgrade work formerly handled by `mysql_upgrade`, roles, `caching_sha2_password` as the preferred/default authentication plugin, utf8mb4 as the default character set, common table expressions, window functions, JSON enhancements, invisible indexes, descending indexes, resource groups, and other optimizer, security, and InnoDB work. ### How it is used The package-manager role of `mysql@8.0` is preservation: it lets Homebrew users install the 8.0 branch separately from the unversioned `mysql` formula and from `mysql@8.4`. Homebrew marks the formula deprecated, keg-only, and tied to the 8.0.46 stable build, which matches Oracle's 8.0 release-notes line that covers changes through 8.0.46. It is useful where an application, connector, authentication behavior, upgrade path, or production compatibility policy still depends on the 8.0 series rather than the 8.4 LTS or newer Innovation/LTS model. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for mysql@8.0. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: ~/.my.cnf ## Credential files - Unix: ~/.my.cnf ## Source Database Details -
