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?

if you dont need something specific to workbench. try dbeaver.

I went through this same thing myself a few months ago. I ended up getting it installed but I'll have to check my obsidian files to remember how I did it.

As @nullPointer@programming.dev recommended, I ended up dropping MySQL Workbench and using dbeaver instead. I liked it much better not only for the features and how easy it was to use but also because I remember it was hard to get Workbench to work in the first place on Fedora.
