Make latest HeidiSQL available on MacOS
1. Download and install Winebottler. https://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
select Development version
it will install Wine, too.
!! Winebottler only works on Mojave or High Sierra !!
2. Install the downloaded dmg
3. Move Wine and Winebottler to the /Applications folder
4. start Winebottler, then go to Advanced tab
5. select the HeidiSQL installer at Program Installation file input field
6. You don't really need to change anything in other settings, the defaults are OK, only if you want
7. Press Install button at the bottom
8. Follow the "wizard", install HeidiSQL and it's dependencies, then it will create an .app file, which you have to move to the Applications folder
9. Start HeidiSQL from Launchpad
