Now you can install your app using either one of the Gradle install tasks mentioned in the section about how to build a debug APK or the adb tool. If the APK is built using a developer preview SDK (if the targetSdkVersion is a letter instead of a number), you must include the -t option with the install command to install a test APK. Then, if you add the directory location of gsutil.cmd to the system path, you can run gsutil COMMAND from anywhere, where COMMAND is a valid gsutil command. Updating stand-alone gsutil When used as a stand-alone product, gsutil has a built-in update command that checks for the latest gsutil release and offers to let you automatically update to. Use either launchctl from the command line, or start MySQL by clicking 'Start' using the MySQL preference pane. For additional information, see Chapter 3, Installing a MySQL Launch Daemon, and Chapter 4, Installing and Using the MySQL Preference Pane. Use the MySQL Preference Pane or launchd to configure MySQL to automatically start at bootup.
The package is located inside a disk image (.dmg
) file that you first need to mount by double-clicking its icon in the Finder. It should then mount the image and display its contents.
Before proceeding with the installation, be sure to stop all running MySQL server instances by using either the MySQL Manager Application (on macOS Server), the preference pane, or mysqladmin shutdown on the command line.
To install MySQL using the package installer:
Download the disk image (.dmg
) file (the community version is available here) that contains the MySQL package installer. Double-click the file to mount the disk image and see its contents.

Double-click the MySQL installer package from the disk. It is named according to the version of MySQL you have downloaded. For example, for MySQL server 5.7.35 it might be named mysql-5.7.35-osx-
. 10.13-x86_64
.pkg
The initial wizard introduction screen references the MySQL server version to install. Click to begin the installation.

Use the MySQL Preference Pane or launchd to configure MySQL to automatically start at bootup.
When installing using the package installer, the files are installed into a directory within /usr/local
matching the name of the installation version and platform. For example, the installer file mysql-5.7.35-
installs MySQL into osx10.13-x86_64.dmg
/usr/local/mysql-5.7.35-osx10.13-x86_64/
