Could anyone please assist with the following? my attempt to install MySQL target for Qlik Data Movement Gateway fails with “Failed to download driver from ‘Linux 8’”

I am running Fedora Release 43.

For the Data Movement Gateway, I am using the following instructions: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/DataIntegration/TargetConnections/mysql-target.htm

I have installed MySQL already with the instructions at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb1pargbKVI

Both MySQL and Qlik Data Movement Gateway are installed and running.

So, a solution of sorts: after seeing the same "Failed to download driver 'Linux8' error Fedora 34 and the associated Red Hat Enterprise Linux Enterprise (RHEL) 9.7, I downgraded to RHEL 8.10 and was able to sucessfully install the MySQL driver for the Qlik Data Movement Gateway.
