MySQL does not need to be installed if only the Fishbowl Client is being installed. NOTE: If the Fishbowl Server is being installed for the first time on a Mac, MySQL will need to be configured by following the steps here.For newer Macs with the M1 processor, see Apple M1 chip. The Fishbowl installer includes a copy of Java, so in most cases, it is not necessary to install Java separately.
