Setting Up MYSQL in Mac OS X

There are many ways to do this,  I was able to set up mysql using this way.

Use this tutorial to setting up the mysql in mac. 

http://php.about.com/od/learnmysql/a/Installing-Mysql-On-A-Mac.htm

but after you complete those steps and still you can't get the mysql running without using these commands 

alias mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
alias mysqladmin=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin

All you have to do is change the add  few lines to the .bash_profile 

export the mysql and add it to the path as shown below.

export MYSQL=/usr/local/mysql/bin/

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$M2_HOME/bin:$CATALINA_HOME/bin:$ANT_HOME/bin:$MYSQL:$PATH

After adding those Don't forget to source the file and check if its correctly configured 

Vinuris-MacBook-Pro:~ vinurip$ source .bash_profile 

Vinuris-MacBook-Pro:~ vinurip$ echo $MYSQL

/usr/local/mysql/bin/

Vinuris-MacBook-Pro:~ vinurip$ 

Thats all you have to do,  I hope this might help some one
