Jan 1, 2016 - 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.
MySQL server is now installed, but it is not loaded (or started) by default. Use either launchctl from the command line, or start MySQL by clicking 'Start' using the MySQL preference pane.
For additional information, see,. Use the MySQL Preference Pane or launchd to configure MySQL to automatically start at bootup. When installing using the package installer, the files are installed into a directory within /usr/local matching the name of the installation version and platform. For example, the installer file mysql-5.7.27- osx10.13-x8664.dmg installs MySQL into /usr/local/mysql-5.7.27-osx10.13-x8664/.
The following table shows the layout of the installation directory.
MySQL is one of the most used Relational databases on the Web and in this lesson, we will learn how to install it. This post specifically covers how to install MySQL on Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Installing MySQL on Windows To download MySQL for Windows navigate to. Scroll down a little and you will be displayed download links like this: The first one is a web installer and the second one is an offline installer. Select whichever you like and hit the Download button. After the download finishes double-click to start the installer. Step 1: Accepts Licence Agreement.
Step 2: Select Setup Type. The default set up installs many additional packages like MySQL workbench, Connectors, plugins, documentation, samples databases and so on. Installing all these packages will take some time and additional space. And the worst part is you won’t even use half of these packages. That’s why it is better to go with the Custom Installation and only install the packages you need. Don’t worry you can always install these packages later by running installer again. Step 3: Select Product and Features.
In this case, we are only interested in installing MySQL server. Select architecture ( x86 or x64 ) depending upon your OS and click Next. Step 4: Check Requirements. In this screen, the installer will download the missing dependencies. You will see this screen only when your system has missing dependencies. Click the “Execute” button to start the process. As you can see, on this system, installers need Microsoft Visual C Redistributable Package before it can proceed.
Click the Next button and installer will prompt you to install the necessary package. Once you have installed all the dependencies you will see a green check mark before the product name. Step 5: Installation. This screen shows the list of products that will be installed. The list only contains MySQL Server because that’s what we are installing here.
To start the installation process click the Execute button. After successful installation, you will get the following screen.
Click Next to proceed. Step 6: Product Configuration. In this part, the installer will configure MySQL Server. Default options are fine, so just click Next on the next on the several screens.
After that, you will be prompted for username and password. Set username and password of your choice. You will use this to login into the MySQL server. You have made through the hard part of the installation phase. In the next several screens accept the default by clicking Next. Finally, close the installer by clicking the Finish button. Adding MySQL to PATH Environment Variable in Windows MySQL Installer by default doesn’t add the mysql.exe to the PATH environment variable.
As a result, every time we want to execute mysql.exe we have to specify the full path to it. The mysql.exe resides in the MySQL MySQL Server 5.7 bin directory. But the path to MySQL directory depends upon the architecture of the application. If you have installed x64 version then it should be in C: Program Files. Otherwise, it should be in C: Program Files (x86). On this system, MySQL is installation is in C: Program Files and the complete path to mysql.exe is C: Program Files MySQL MySQL Server 5.7 bin mysql.exe. To add mysql.exe to PATH environment variable follow these steps: 1.
Hit Win+Pause/Break. This will open System Properties Window. Click on Advanced system settings. At the bottom of the newly opened window click on Environment Variables. In the new window Select Path environment variable and click Edit. Add; at the end of the current variable value and append C: Program Files MySQL MySQL Server 5.7 bin mysql.exe (the exact may differ depending upon version and architecture of the application).
Click OK to save. Now start the Command Prompt and enter the following command. The MySQL installer usually installs the files in the directory named mysql within /usr/local/. Just like Windows, MySQL installer for Mac doesn’t add MySQL executable to the PATH environment variable. Consequently, we have to execute MySQL by specifying the full path to it in the terminal.
We are now ready to start the server. Open System Preference and click on the MySQL icon.
This will open MySQL preference pane. As the screen shows, currently, MySQL server is not running. Click Start MySQL Server button to start the server.
