I am downloading MySQL and I 've been told to download a .deb, so I download a mysql-apt-config_0.8.15-1_all.deb from the website. The problem is that when I type in sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.15-1_all.deb , the terminal says sudo: dpkg: command not found . I know that this question has been posted before, but I couldn't understand the solution, is there any simple way that I can fix this? Thanks in advance.

On Mac, use brew install dpkg . If brew is not installed, try /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

Then use brew install dpkg and then you can simply use dpkg -i .

I get an error "Unable to locate an executable at "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/apt" (-1)" people online says that it may be the problem that mac doesn't support APT by default??? What's does that mean? – Peter24 Jun 12, 2020 at 11:50 @Peter24 OK, I didn't know you were using a Mac. Do you have brew? If not, try


    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

. Then


    brew install dpkg

. After that you will be able to use


    dpkg -i

, hopefully. – Akshat Vats Jun 12, 2020 at 12:09 I've got a brew and brew install dpkg works, however, i gave me this after I execute sudo dpkg -i : dpkg: warning: '/usr/local/opt/gnu-tar/bin/gtar' not found in PATH or not executable dpkg: error: 1 expected program not found in PATH or not executable Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin – Peter24 Jun 12, 2020 at 12:46 @Peter24 dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/osx-installation-pkg.html . It tells to download .pkg for mc – Akshat Vats Jun 12, 2020 at 13:03 strange thing is that when I installed the package, it told me to set the root password by myself instead of giving me a new one, is that normal? – Peter24 Jun 12, 2020 at 13:48

Yes, most probably you are on the wrong shell. Type bash or sh before running the dpkg command. I hope this works! If it doesn't comment below! If it works please accept!

Note: dpkg -i not dpkg-i
