MySQL Server on MacBook

Hi.

I am trying to install MySQL server on my macbook, so I can study it and get better at it. I downloaded the dmg image from the mysql site for intel macs. I am running OS X Leopard 10.5.

This is the file I downloaded:

mysql-5.1.37-osx10.5-x86.dmg

I expanded the dmg and ran the installer and everything seemed fine. I copied the mysql bin directory to my path. But when I run mysqladmin this is what I get:

Mazdayasna:~ bluethundr$ sudo mysqladmin -u root password p4551int3nd2us3
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!
