How do I find out where MySQL is installed on Mac OS X 10.7.9? I have MAMP installed so I presume that it is bundled with this install?

1. Installing MySQL on Mac OS X. What follows are instructions for building and installing MySQL 5 on Mac OS X. These instructions should work perfectly on both Tiger and Leopard. If you’re a pro at this type of thing already, if you’re impatient, or just feeling lucky, you can download the basic install steps as a shell script and give that a go.

This is the MySQL™ Reference Manual. It documents MySQL 5.5 through 5.5.62, as well as NDB Cluster releases based on version 7.2 of NDBCLUSTER through 5.5.61-ndb-7.2.34. It may include documentation of features of MySQL versions that have not yet been released. For information about which versions have been released, see the MySQL 5.5 Release Notes.

It will be found in /usr/local/mysql if you use the mysql binaries or dmg to install it on your system instead of using MAMP

If you run SHOW VARIABLES from a mysql console you can look for basedir.

When I run the following:

on my system I get /usr/local/mysql as the Value returned.(I am not using MAMP - I installed MySQL with homebrew.

mysqldon my machine is in /usr/local/mysql/bin so the basedir is where most everything will be installed to.

If you downloaded mySQL using a DMG (easiest way to download found here http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/) in Terminal try: cd /usr/local/

When you type ls you should see mysql-YOUR-VERSION. You will also see mysql which is the installation directory.

If you've installed with the dmg, you can also go to the Mac 'System Preferences' menu, click on 'MySql' and then on the configuration tab to see the location of all MySql directories.

Or use good old 'find'. For example in order to look for old mysql v5.7:
