python3-protobufRPM package is not available for Python 3.8 on the RedHat Enterprise Linux and Oracle Linux platforms, it has to be manually installed with, for example,pip install protobuf. This is required for Connector/Python 8.0.29 or later.-
The
mysql-community-client-pluginspackage is required for using robust authentication methods likecaching_sha2_password, which is the default authentication method for MySQL 8.0 and later. Install it using the Yum repository$ sudo yum install mysql-community-client-plugins
