SQL Workstation

How would I go about installing SQL workstation? I know bazzite is based off fedora and mysql has a rbm version but I haven't been able to get it to install. Maybe its not possible, if not thats ok, I would just really like to use it locally and not have to use a VM. I tried using boxbuddy to install the rpm file but it wouldn't show in the installed applications. So now I'm looking into VM options to figure out a way to get it working.

Are you trying to install MYSQL Workbench? I've never heard of SQL Workstation. Do you have a link?

Assuming that you trying to install MYSQL Workbench. This worked for me.

I created an Ubuntu 24.04 distrobox in Boxbuddy
I downloaded the .deb package for Ubuntu 24.04
In the Ubuntu 24.04 distrobox I ran the following

sudo apt install ~/Downloads/mysql-workbench-community_8.0.41-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb # Your file name might differ
distrobox-export --app mysql-workbench

sudo apt install ~/Downloads/mysql-workbench-community_8.0.41-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb # Your file name might differ
distrobox-export --app mysql-workbench

Then I can launch it from the UI from the application menu

try run sudo apt updatesudo apt update before you install it. I might have run that too

Also double check if you run cat /etc/os-releasecat /etc/os-release that you get "24.04.1 LTS (Noble Numbat)" in the output

You don't need to, try the installer again

I haven't worked with MySQL for a while but I seem to recall that you needed to change some settings if you want to allow access to it remotely. You might need to do something like this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14779104/how-to-allow-remote-connection-to-mysql#answer-14779244 in your settings in your MYSQL server for it to be accessible from another machine.
