MySQL Workbench could not detect any MySQL server running. This means that MySQL is not installed or is not running.

If you have installed MySQL Workbench on your device (Windows/Mac) and you see the message "could not detect any MySQL server running" that means that the MySQL Server is not running or it has not been installed.

Case 1: If MySQL Server is not installeded

First thing you can do is try to run the MySQL command in the Terminal and check if it is installed on your device.

on macOS

% mysql --version

zsh: command not found: mysql

If MySQL is not installed, then you can get it installed using the homebrew package manager.



As you can see, I have started the MySQL Database.

brew install mysql
