Magento2: Sorry, but we support MySQL version 5.6.0 or later.

[mkettaneh]

Dear All,

I am trying to install Magento2, I got the following error

Sorry, but we support MySQL version 5.6.0 or later.

My MySQL is 5.5.54. The question, is there way to overcome without upgrading my MySQL?

Note: I am trying to install it in Azure web app and I am using ClearDB as MySQL.

regards,

Kettaneh
