If you are comfortable with Docker, that would be the fastest solution. You can spin up a container with MySQL 5.6 quite easily and not have to worry that an OS update will b0rk the SQL installation. - matigo
MySQL 5.6 is outdated and not longer supported. So you should think about if 5.7 or MariaDB would work for you as their are compatible in most cases. - nbk
You could use a source code install - it's quite easy if you carefully follow the instructions. - Vérace
