Installing MySQL on Mac OS X

Early last year (2005) I installed MySQL on OS X.  I was recently faced with the task again and realized I’d completely forgotten everything I did.  I just wanted to point out a couple of handy links for accomplishing this task:

http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/osdb.html
http://www.osxfaq.com/tips/unix-tricks/week108/monday.ws

The first link discusses installing from source while the second directs you to the binary install.  I do remember doing a binary install and that definitely seems the route to take….unless you need to compile with any special options.
