I have XAMPP setup on my Mac. Getting MySQL and PHP to run in terminal didn’t work after installation. To be able to run mysql and php you have to add the xampp application to the .bash_profile file in your users home directory.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
# .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs export XAMPP_HOME=/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles export PATH=${XAMPP_HOME}/bin:${PATH} export PATH unset USERNAME |
To check that it has worked, open a new terminal session and type in:
1 2 |
which mysql which php |
Both should point to /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles
