1. Download MySQL for Mac OS X. You want the “Standard” distribution.
2. Install the both the MySQL binary package and the Startup Item (which you can disable later) as well as the Preference Pane.
3. Open the MySQL System Preference Pane; Click start.
4. Set your root MySQL password, by opening the Terminal.app and typing the following /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password yourpasswordhere. This part is extremely important. Don’t screw it up!
5. Download CocoaMySQL. Make sure to get the beta if you have an Intel Mac.
6. Create your databases and have fun!
