If you have homebrew installed, then :

brew install mysql

Else install homebrew it might be useful also to install other projects

I would recommend going by the way of ports:

sudo port install mysql5
sudo port activate mysql5

Even simpler is the MAMP way, but the MAMP distribution is usually behind the macport one.

  • Unfortunately, I don't need the latest version 5.1. I downloaded tar.gz file for 5.0 and would like to install that. Commented Mar 4, 2012 at 23:41
