title: How to install MySQL on Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5?
body: <p>I followed <a href="http://hivelogic.com/articles/view/installing-mysql-on-mac-os-x" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> tutorial to the very end, then found out it didn't work right. I think I have everything installed but when I type</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql -uroot
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I only get</p>
  
  <pre><code>-bash: mysql: command not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Note:</strong> I did not skip the "Setting the Path" step. Upon running this command for the first time:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mate ~/.bash_login
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This brought up an empty file. So I added this line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I saved the file, closed TextMate, executed the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>. ~/.bash_login
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...and continued with the tutorial. Based on your suggestions, I thought maybe the file didn't actually get saved. So I ran the following command to bring up the file again:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mate ~/.bash_login
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...yet the contents of the file were as they should be.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
