A Node.js wrapper that downloads and spawns MySQL Server 5.7 for macOS 64-bit as a child process. Version 100.0.8 is the latest, but this package is essentially a legacy binary distribution pinned to MySQL 5.7. It provides a single function to start the MySQL server with configurable options (port, reinitialize) and returns a ChildProcess with a stop() method. Only one instance per application is supported. Useful for local development/testing without a full MySQL installation. However, it is macOS-only and unmaintained since MySQL 8.x.
