While we're here let's grab a copy of MySQL so we can connect with that client. Head over to the [MySQL Getting Started](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-getting-started/en/) documentation and install MySQL on your machine. I used [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) to install MySQL on my Mac: `brew install [email protected]`. Alternatively, you can install only the client component by running `brew install [email protected]`.

NOTE: Make sure you install a MySQL 8.4 release. MySQL 8.4 is the current Long Term Support (LTS) release, meaning this is the stable and supported version of MySQL. MySQL 9.0 is also available, but is an "innovation" release, meaning it has more recent changes and features, but may not be as stable as the LTS release. The 9.0 release changes authentication support and isn't able to connect to a Dolt SQL server by default. You can install MySQL 8.4 with Homebrew by running `brew install [email protected]`. We are currently [working on support for the 9.0 auth changes](https://github.com/dolthub/dolt/issues/8496) and expect to support MySQL 9.0 clients without `mysql_native_password` support before the end of 2024.

MySQL comes with a MySQL server called `mysqld` and a MySQL client called `mysql`. You're only interested in the client. After following the instructions from MySQL's documentation, make sure you have a copy of the `mysql` client on your path:
