Hi Michael, While not packaged/waiting: not sure but IF MySQL is supported in Ubuntu builds, you could try to run a virtual machine (Virtualbox?) with a minimal Ubuntu and install QGIS in that? Not sure how good Docker is working on Mac, but Tim Sutton also created a Docker image which will run QGIS in a Docker container: https://github.com/kartoza/docker-qgis-desktop but output it to your X-server (uh... does Mac still us X???)? Or if all that fails: get an old laptop and install Ubuntu on it :-) Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Hi Michael, You can try installing from homebrew. I think the following should get you what you want (it requires some terminal usage though): |/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" brew install gdal-20 --with-mysql brew install qgis-214 | There are plans to build click-n-install packages on top of these homebrew formulae. I know they are in the pipeline but don't have the details. Maybe Larry can say more about that.

[Qgis-user] A patient request for MySQL support on QGIS/Mac!
Hello, I'm using the KyngChaos builds on OSX which doesn't have MySQL support. I found a thread [1] from July, 2015 where William said "I haven't packaged a GDAL plugin for MySQL yet, it's on my list of things to do but it's not very high priority." I just wanted to add a patient request for this to happen and see where it stands on the priority list these days. I've been working on adding some lightweight spatial capabilities to the WordPress CMS, which uses MySQL as its database. What I'm doing isn't intensive GIS, by any means, but it would be really convenient to be able to quickly visualize and modify the data I'm working with in QGIS.
