Probably not. XAMPP is a much simpler, fully integratedpackage which is a fit for the needs of this course. You can, however,substitute actual MySQL for the MariaDB used in XAMPP and use theremaining Apache/Php part of XAMPP, or, make separate installations ofthose components.

Terminal shell, sudo, nano

It is important to be able to execute certain commands from the Terminal shell.On a MAC, as on other UNIX-like systems, administrative commands are usuallyprefaced by the sudo command:If you've never used sudo, it requests that you enter the password for your computer login on initial usage within each shell.Occasionally you have to edit administrative files and it is often easiest to do so from the shell as well. I would recommend the nano editor as the easiest to use:An alternative is to 'become root' and do the editing directly without the constantsudo qualifier. To do so, run:The hash prompt # indicates that you are root and can do administrativetasks without the sudo qualifier.

Test theeffectiveness of what you've done by typing this in the shell:You should see the /usr/local/mysql/bin component as thefirst component in the PATH variable.

Server Control

As of this recent version of 5.7, running on recent versions of MAC OS X, there is a MySQL Control Panel found in System Preferences.Opening it reveals:It is self-explanatory how to use this, but you can effectively 'turn off'this version of MySQL to avoid competing with, say, the XAMPP installation.
