Install Influxdb 1.8.3 from tar.gz on Mac - installation

Hi there I want to install an old version of InfluxDB on a Mac. I have found what I think is the right tar.gz file on GitHub (at https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb-1.8.3_darwin_amd64.tar.gz), downloaded and unzipped it. But with no configure or make file that I can find I don’t know how to install it as all the instructions I can find seem to reference those executables.
As someone who is learning as I go along any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

You can use homebrew to install influxdb v1 on macOS,
brew update
brew install influxdb#1
Refer to official docs for the detail.

How to install libraries (mysql connector cpp) on Mac using terminal and make things simple as in the case of Ubuntu

I will share an example.
I had to install mysql connector c++ libraries for my project.
To install connector c++ on my Mac, i had to build it from the source code and it takes a lot of effort because you get errors sometimes and then it is troublesome, something which should have been done in a short time.
In case of Ubuntu, I just had to write one command in the terminal, and wow, everything just got done automatically.
apt-get install libmysqlcppconn7
Does anybody know any similar command in mac, using brew or macports?
I tried to find but I guess I didn't get any results to satisfaction.
And if there is not, can anyone guide me so that I can make it possible, like I think it's possible for mac, if it is possible in ubuntu.
Please guide me, an answer in a bit detail would be so much appreciated.
Probably the nearest thing to apt-get on a mac is brew
Once it is set up (and this isn't difficult) "brew install mysql-connector-c++" will install on the mac

Installing latest version of gmsh

How can I install latest version of gmsh, which is gmsh 3.0.7 on ubuntu 16.04LTS please?
Using sudo apt install gmsh it only installs gmsh 2.10.1.
I also did update and upgrade my system but still only version 2.10.1.
Any suggestion please?
Cheers
First, I prefix this by saying I'm nothing like an expert, but this worked for me:
Uninstall the repository version:
sudo apt-get remove gmsh
Download a zipped copy of the latest stable release for linux from the gmsh website:
http://gmsh.info/#Download
Unzip gmsh:
tar -xvzf gmsh-3.0.6-Linux64.tgz (or whatever version you've downloaded)
This makes a folder gmsh-3.0.6-Linux64 containing gmsh which is portable. Put it somewhere you can find it. I put it in my home directory.
Navigate to the bin folder:
cd ~/gmsh-3.0.6-Linux64/bin
From the bin folder you can start gmsh by typing:
./gmsh
I made it generally available at the command line by editing my .bashrc, adding this line:
export PATH="$PATH:/home/bob/gmsh-3.0.6-Linux64/bin"
You will need to make the path appropriate for your location.
Hope this works.
if it can help someone here, I recently compiled GMSH from source without difficulty, simply with the typical combination of cmake and make; their GitLab repository explains these few steps to follow
https://gitlab.onelab.info/gmsh/gmsh
Although this may vary, pay attention to few libraries which weren't present on my fresh Ubuntu installation (libpng, libjpeg, and FLTK libraries), cmake properly highlighted these missing libraries. FLTK is needed for the UI.
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS has gmsh version 4.4.1 in the official repositories. So installation is again simply this:
sudo apt install gmsh

Update cedet in emacs on Mac

I installed emacs using Home Brew but later I found the cedet bundled with emacs is out dated.
But when I followed the instructions in cedet official site, downloaded the tar file, un-tar it and run make in that dir, then I got 2 errors telling me ssomething is wrong with eieio... The version I want to install is cedet1.1...
How can I solve this?
Just update emacs to the newest version using homebrew, which should be 24.5.1. The cedet bundled with it is V2.0, which is the same as sf.

Where can I download PostgreSQL 8.2.16 installer for OSX?

I've been searching for about an hour, but could not find any installer for this version...
I have been using Homebrew for OSX, and have been really happy with it. After you install it, you can
$ brew install postgresql
and get a clean installation of postgres. However, it doesn't install any gui tools, just psql.

EDIT:
Apologies, I think the brew formula is building 8.4.3 right now, but it shouldn't be too hard to edit it to use the version you require...
EDIT #2:
You might be able to find the version you want here:
