[SOLVED] Why won't MySQL 8.0.28 install on macOS 12 Monterey?

Issue

I downloaded the community version of MySQL but it won’t install on macOS. How come?

Solution

Since the introduction of Apple M1 CPU, software like MySQL provided 2 versions for Apple M1 CPU (arm) and Intel CPU (x86).

Please make sure you downloaded the right version.
