However, at the time of writing the script is not compatible with OS X El Capitan (10.11) Install MySQL using Homebrew An alternative to the aforementioned installation script is installing MySQL using Homebrew. This gist assumes you already have Homebrew installed, if not first read the article ' Homebrew and El Capitan '. Homebrew was written 2009 by Max Howell and has gained popularity in the Ruby on Rails community and earned praise for its extensibility. Install GNU Octave using Homebrew: Install Xcode via the Mac App Store. Install the Command Line Tools by opening a terminal and type sudo xcode-select -install; Follow Homebrew's installation instructions. Due to SIP restriction, the old HomeBrew (Migrated from Yosemite or older macOS) does not work well on El Capitan (and newer).
