This should be really straightforward, but I found myself googling around. I wrote a recent post about how to create a web app with the Laravel PHP framework but connecting to the database was tricky.
First step, find out what version of OS X you are running. Click the apple icon in the top right corner of your screen and click “About This Mac”. I got something like this:
Next step, head over to the MySQL downloads page.
So with my computer I am running 10.11 and we want the .dmg file. Download Mac OS X 10.10 (x86, 64-bit), DMG Archive. Then you get to this lame screen:
MySQL is free and open source software (FOSS), you do not need to sign up or create an account. Click “No thanks, just start my download”. I let the download go directly to my “Downloads” folder when prompted, though you could place it anywhere. The download will take some time because it is 350mb, go get a coffee. Once the download is complete. Double click the file and a screen like this will open
Work with MySQL Data in MS Excel on Mac OS X Create a Data Source Name in iODBC with the CData ODBC Driver for MySQL and work with MySQL data in Microsoft Excel on Mac OS X. Microsoft Excel features calculations, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language that allows users to work with data in many of the ways that suit.
Double click it and go through the install process.
When I did it I got an alert box:
Add to path. This went in ~/.zshrc because I am using ZSH. https://tradeyellow139.weebly.com/itools-english-download-for-mac.html. If you are using bash for terminal (the default on OS X) this will be the ~/.bashrc file or ~/.bash_profile. This post explains the difference between the two files.
Add the mysql download to your path so that you can use the “mysql” command from the command line.
Then test it out:
Now that we have MySQL installed and accessible from the Terminal, it’s time to connect to the database and start the MySQL server. Let’s log in as root user (root@localhost) and use that funky password that popped up in the alert window after our install. In the above case it’s
#fW&tYe?<8?w
Great! Now we can create databases and run SQL queries right from the command line. That’s an awesome start, but there’s no way anyone is going to remember that password, nor is it enjoyable to type in every time we want to run MySQL. The full docs on changing passwords are here. For OSX you can run the command:
![Mysql download mac os Mysql download mac os](/uploads/1/2/6/7/126794544/368249915.jpg)
The
PASSWORD('root')
sets my password to “root”. Easy to remember right? You can set your password to anything you like, such as PASSWORD('myN3wp@Ssw0rd')
.To stop the server in the terminal run
control + D
. Congratulations! You’ve installed MySQL on OSX, made it accessible from the command line and updated your password for the root user.To start setting up a Laravel application and connect to a database using Sequel Pro you can follow my next tutorial:

Update (9/16/17): Expired passwords
When trying to login to MySQL on OSX recently I ran into the following error:

MySQL is the most popular open source database management system. It allows you to quickly download and install and run a powerful database system on almost any platform available including Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X etc.
In this tutorial, I am going to explain how to download and install MySQL on Mac OS X in a few easy steps.
Download MySQL for OS X
Download latest stable version of MySQL server for your OS X version and architecture. Link: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/. Please make sure you download the .dmg file.
Mysql Client For Mac Os
Unpack download .dmg file
Click on the downloaded .dmg file and unpack it. Click on the mysql server package from unpacked files.
Install MySQL from downloaded file
Install MySQL server by clicking on the mysql package to open up the installer. If you want to install the startup script to automatically start MySQL server at the time of system startup, you should also install the start up package of mysql now (included in the unpacked MySQL package that you just downloaded and unpacked as a separate file).
Once the installer has finished successfully, all MySQL related files should be installed under /usr/local/mysql-VERSION directory. A link /usr/local/mysql (pointing to the MySQL installation directory) should also have been created for your convenience.
Install and setup auto start package for MySQL on OS X
If you had installed the automatic startup package at the time of installation, you should now be able to start MySQL running the following command in OS X Terminal window or by restarting the operating system:
As soon as you run the command above, your system might ask for permission to allow MySQL server to accept incoming connections. You must give the permission to listen on port 3306 (or change it later to run on a different port).
In case, you did not install the startup script, you have to run mysqld_safe under /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe script.
If you want to disable automatic MySQL starts at the time of system startup, you can change the value of MYSQLCOM in /etc/hostconfig to '-NO-' (without quotes).
You should also consider including /usr/local/mysql/bin/ in your system PATH variable.
Connect to installed MySQL server
Mysql For Mac
