I am trying to install MySQL according to the tutorial on http://hivelogic.com/articles/installing-mysql-on-mac-os-x/

The first I have to do is to put some lines in "~/.bash_login" But I don't have this file in my home directory? It also says to type "mate ~/.bash_login" in the terminal, and the file will be created if there is none. But I just get "command not found" in the terminal.

Any ideas?
 
I find that using mySQL's package installers for Mac OS X work beautifully.

If you're looking for a non-standard mySQL installation or need to compile to include libraries not included in the package installer version, then recompliling and installing by hand is definitely the way to go.

As for the "mate" command not being found, you can freely use any UNIX text editor you like (nano, vi, vim, etc.) to create the .bash_login file.
