Relational Migrator MySQL driver not installed, MacOS

About the Community Welcome

Actions taken:

  • Followed the docs to download the “platform independent” MySQL driver v.9.0.0.
  • Did not have the “Drivers” folder so I proceeded to create one at “/Library/Application Support/MongoDB/Relational Migrator”.
  • Pasted .jar file into “Drivers” folder
  • Quit Relational Migrator from menu bar and re-launched

Relational Migrator still shows not installed error message.

  • Relational Mapper: v.1.9.0
  • MacOS: Sonoma 14.6.1
  • MySQL: 8.1.0

Hi @Isaac_Jieu -

Sorry to hear you’re having troubles. From the steps you’ve listed it looks like you’re doing the right thing, but there must be something that isn’t quite right.

The main things to check (even though it looks OK from your description) are:

  1. Make sure the folder you’ve copied the file to is under /Library and not ~/Library (both will likely exist)
  2. Make sure you copy the .jar file directly under Drivers.

Sample terminal output of a correctly placed driver file:

Is the Drivers folder generated, or do I have to create it manually?
