macOS MySQL install

Hey all,

I downloaded and opened and installed MySQL, but now I cannot find how to run it. Looking at the apple developer page it says to do a command in the terminal and then it should configure. But when I write this command into terminal it gives me an error saying it cannot be found.

I downloaded the .pkg app for 10.5 because people were saying it works with 10.6 which I have.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Stephen

What command did you try? You'll likely need to edit your environment PATH to include the binaries for MySQL. Do you know where MySQL was installed?

Think I may have found it out using a package was way further ahead of the documents than I was meant to be, I was still trying to compile it, but it has already installed. I'll try running it, if that don't work I'll say what happened.

Thanks though,

Stephen

EDIT: Right it has installed successfully but now the command that apple says to use:


does not work, I had a look in the folder and mysqld_safe is not there, any other way of running it?

Thanks,

Stephen
