2. Installing MySQL > Installing Under Mac OS X

Installing Under Mac OS X

In this section, we’ll look at three ways to install MySQL on a Mac OS X system:

  • System-wide, using an installation package provided by MySQL AB.

  • Local, using an non-installation gzipped tar package provided by MySQL AB.

  • System-wide, using the XAMPP integrated package.

To install system-wide, you should be able to access superuser privileges through the sudo command.

Installing only MySQL Using the Installer from MySQL AB

Following the instructions of Downloading MySQL from the MySQL AB Web Site,” earlier in this chapter, visit the MySQL AB downloads page and choose the package corresponding to the version of your operating system and your system processor.
