What's the correct way to install MySQL Workbench on Fedora?

I need MySql Workbench on my daily driver OS, which is Fedora 41. But I can’t seem to find a way to install it.

I first tried this, but dnf can’t find the package even after adding the repository.

Same issue with this.

And this.

For all the tutorials I tried searching my dnf for the workbench and trying different variations of the name, but it just doesn’t seem to exist as an installable package.

I even installed the snap package version (after installing snapd for the first time), which does install on the system, but it seems to have some kind of dependency issue because keeps saying could not execute child process dbus-launch no such file or directory when I try to do anything (even though I have dbus installed according to dnf).

So now I’m stumped. Does anyone know how you’re “supposed” to install MySQL Workbench on Fedora 41?

I have no idea, but I’d go with docker, podman or similar.

Update: I thought it’s a web app, disregard my suggestion, I still have no idea.

It is just a desktop app, not server software.

Unless you mean Distrobox.

Is mysql in your repolist? The second tutorial adds it; just wanted to check that it worked.

I was going to recommend Flatpak but it does not seem to be on Flathub. Maybe consider one of the other SQL front-ends:

Use the RPM instructions here:
