Mac : Installing Mysql on mac using brew

Look, if you just want to try out mysql only for learning then there is not need for local installation, you can try it out free at this site : http://demo.phpmyadmin.net/master-config/

If you want to install Mysql on you mac machine then follow below steps :

1. Install mysql with brew install mysql
2. Start mysql with mysql.server start
3. Connect mysql with mysql -uroot 
4. Stop mysql with mysql.server stop

 

Note :

To have launchd start mysql at login:

  ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/mysql/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

Then to load mysql now:

  launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist

Or, if you don’t want/need launchctl, you can just run:

$   mysql.server start

$ mysql -uroot

$ mysql.server stop

Once Mysql is installed you can check port number using below command

mysql> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE ‘PORT’;

+—————+——-+

| Variable_name | Value |

+—————+——-+

| port          | 3306  |

+—————+——-+

Mac : How do I launch Finder from terminal or command line

If you use command line a lot, like most programmers and want to be able  to launch Finder (open current directory in folder view)

To open your current directory in Finder from Terminal, type open .

Mac : Stop and Start Cassandra DB on Mac OSX

For Mac use below commands to stop and start Cassandra :

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.cassandra.plist
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.cassandra.plist

Once cassandra is running you can validate that by opening query prompt using

 

➜  aseem’s Mac ✗$ cqlsh                                                                

Connected to Test Cluster at 127.0.0.1:9042.

Mac : Installing Cassandra In Mac OS X ‘Mavericks’

First, you need Java 7 JDK, not to be confused with JRE. Cassandra won’t run without it. So run a java -version command before you proceed.

I used brew to install and maintain it for me 😉

brew install cassandra

After the  installation, run

brew info cassandra

This will print out the following instructions on the screen:

To reload cassandra after an upgrade:
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.cassandra.plist
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.cassandra.plist

There is probably a bug in the brew recipe for OS X Mavericks, as homebrew.mxcl.cassandra.plist was not copied to the target directory for me. It stayed in the brew install source directory, ~/usr/local/Cellar/cassandra/2.0.3, so I copied it over to ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ .

Now, take a look at homebrew.mxcl.cassandra.plist. The file reads:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>

<plist version=”1.0″>

<dict>

<key>KeepAlive</key>

<true/>

<key>Label</key>

<string>homebrew.mxcl.cassandra</string>

<key>ProgramArguments</key>

<array>

<string>/usr/local/opt/cassandra/bin/cassandra</string>

<string>-f</string>

</array>

<key>RunAtLoad</key>

<true>

<key>WorkingDirectory</key>

<string>/usr/local/var/lib/cassandra</string>

</dict>

</plist>

As you can see, launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.cassandra.plist will start cassandra using the command /usr/local/opt/cassandra/bin/cassandra and it will keep it live, which means you can’t kill the process by pid.  it will just spring back to life again and again.  To stop cassandra, use the unload option.

Now, start Cassandra. But, you haven’t got a client to verify the server is working, have you?  CQL, the Cassandra Query Language client is not installed by Homebrew as part of the server install, unlike datastax distribution.

To install CQL with Homebrew,  do:

brew install python
pip install cql


now add the cqlsh script directory to your PATH.  I add mine to .bashrc:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin/:$PATH

Finally, run cqlsh

bash-3.2$ cqlsh

Connected to Test Cluster at localhost:9160.

cqlsh>

Success.
