Mysql Download For Mac El Capitan

As it has been for while, OS X no longer includes MySQL. In this article we take a quick look at how to install MySQL and then how to run the Secure Installation to change the default root password.

Download the latest version of MySQL available from the official web site. At time of writing this was 5.7.9 and the description didn’t say it was for 10.11 – but it works fine. Choose the DMG package for easiest installation. You don’t have to sign up to the web site, just click “No thanks, just start my download” beneath the sign up box.

Once downloaded, run the installer. At the end of the installer you will be presented with a dialog of the automatically created root password. Take a note of this.

Open up System Preferences, and select the new MySQL icon.

From here you can start and stop the service, and you can set it to start automatically on startup. Go ahead and start the service.

MySQL is installed in to:

May 15, 2020 The El Capitan installer is downloaded to the /Applications folder, with the file name Install OS X El Capitan. If you have already installed El Capitan and wish to now create a bootable installer, you can force the Mac App Store to re-download the installer.

We started this website because we were having trouble finding mac software for lots of the old computers we deal with.

Thanks, /Ather How to repeat: Download obdc 5.3.6 dmg file and try to install it on el capitan. 4 May 2016 12:29 Ather Gattami I was trying to install odbc on mac OS X el capitan.

Open up a Terminal window and change to the MySQL folder:

cd /usr/local/mysql/bin/

Run the MySQL Secure Installation and enter the password you were given earlier (please note, that it may first prompt you for your system password):

sudo ./mysql_secure_installation

It will warn you that the root password has expired. This is your opportunity to set your own. Enter it twice.

Follow through the remaining questions answering yes or no, depending on your environment. You can then manage your MySQL databases in your preferred method. I like to use Sequel Pro.

All done!

There are several ways to install MySQL on your Mac, for example:

compile from source
use the Homebrew package manager (http://brew.sh)
use a nifty script courtesy of Mac Mini Vault (http://git.io/eUx7rg)
or use the dedicated MySQL installer package (recommended)

I recommend the dedicated installer because it’s the only package that will also add a convenient Preference Pane for starting and stopping the service.

In this article I’ll focus on the latter, and I’ll also talk you through how to add MySQL to the PATH variable and how to secure MySQL to keep the evildoers away from your server.

These instructions will work on Yosemite and El Capitan (I’ve tested it on both systems – in fact that’s part of why I’m writing this, so that I can remember for next time).

Downloading and installing MySQL

You’ll find several packages at the MySQL website in the downloads section: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/

If that link isn’t working, head over to http://mysql.com and find the Downloads section. Hunt for something called the Community GPL Downloads, and for a section called MySQL Community Server. That’s the Open Source version of MySQL. Pick a platform from the drop down menu (Mac OS X).

Again there are several versions you can download. You’ll probably want the DMG Archive equivalent to the version of OS X you’real running (this screenshot was taken in November 2015, things may have changed since then):

Double-click the file and you’ll be guided through a standard OS X installation. When the installer has finished, MySQL is installed on your system – but of course it’s neither running nor configured yet. We’ll take care of that in the next step.

Take a look under (Apple Logo) – System Preferences and see if you can find the MySQL Preference Pane. If you see that, all is well.

Starting and stopping MySQL

Start MySQL using the preference pane I’ve just mentioned. Tick the box that reads “automatically start MySQL server on startup” if you want that behaviour.

If you ever want to start/stop MySQL, this is the most convenient place to do it on your Mac. At times however, that fancy button is greyed out, which means that the Launch Daemon isn’t running. Should this happen, start the daemon via the command line manually, like this:

Open a new session and your PATH will now be amended with the MySQL location. Note that the .bash_profile file will automatically be deleted for your convenience as soon as the PATH is updated.</p><h3 id='mysql-download-for-mac-el-capitan-download'>Mysql Download For Mac El Capitan Download</h3><p>Try typing mysqladmin now and see what happens. You should see a long list of options. If you see a “command not found” error instead, something didn’t work out with the alias or PATH tweak.</p><h3>Securing MySQL</h3><p>MySQL comes with a handy script that will secure your installation. It lets you set a root user password, (dis-)allow remote access and remove test databases and users. I highly recommend you run it before using MySQL, especially when you’re deploying on production servers.</p><p>The following command will only work if the above has been added to the PATH variable, this won’t work with aliases:</p><p>Alternatively, you can call the script with the full path:</p><h3>Using MySQL on your Mac</h3><p>With all the above in place, you’re good to use MySQL on your Mac the usual way. You’ll find all the gory details at http://mysql.com.</p><p><strong>A couple of things to know:</strong></p><p>MySQL on OS X doesn’t like the value “localhost”. Instead, use 127.0.0.1 (don’t ask me why). WordPress for example won’t connect when you use localhost as your DB_HOST value.</p><p>If you’re looking for a graphical admin tool, there’s a SUPERB tool available for your Mac that exclusively deals with administering MySQL databases and users: it’s called Sequel Pro: http://sequelpro.com. It’s also open source and it’s simply phenomenal: it allows you to administer local and remote databases and user accounts, and it’s a native OS X app.</p><p>Rather than creating users and databases from the command line (which of course works fine), Sequel Pro will be of great help to you.</p><h3>Just one more thing…</h3><p>MySQL will install itself listening to its default port of 3306.</p><p>However, if you have previously installed MySQL via another method (Homebrew for example), and you decided that you really wanted that swanky Preference Pane, then the Mac installer will go ahead and install MySQL again – but it’s clever enough to <strong>notice that port 3306 is already being used by something else</strong>.</p><p>In which case, the default port for the Mac installation will become <strong>the next available higher port</strong>, for example 3307. It won’t uninstall the previous MySQL, or amend it.</p><p>Sadly the OS X installation does not use a configuration file (such as /etc/my.cnf ), but there’s a workaround that’s described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5320424/change-port-for-mysql-on-mac</p><h3 id='el-capitan-os-download-free'>El Capitan Os Download Free</h3><p>With all that said, enjoy!</p><h3>Further Reading</h3><h3 id='mysql-download-for-mac-el-capitan-mac'>Mysql Download For Mac El Capitan Mac</h3><div><h3><em>Related</em></h3></div></p>
