In the past 6 months I’ve had to setup Django and MySQL 4 times on our various Mac hardware at work. I figured since I’ve seen to have it down pat now I should document it somewhere 🙂
Python should already be installed.
sudo easy_install pip
download MySQL dmg from mysql.com. This is the version I’m using.
Mac OS X ver. 10.6 (x86, 64-bit), DMG Archive 5.5.25 111.9M
(mysql-5.5.25-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg) MD5: 081d3345daaae6f5f36a9f245855798b
sudo easy_install django
nano ~/.profile
paste this in:
export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=”$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/mysql/lib/”
Download and install https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer
sudo easy_install MySQL-python
You are ready to go 🙂
Thank you. After many many days of trying I have been able to successfully install Django with your clear instructions!
Thanks.
