* 1 Download the MySQL program from the Internet. A developer's website is listed in the resources section. The program size is relatively small and therefore should not take long to download with an efficient Internet connection. You can also purchase this by phone.

* 2 Run the install file. It will ask you a serious of questions and you will have to perform the initial setup of the program. If you don't want to fool with the majority of the settings, you can use the typical setup option and always change the setup later. In order to use the program to run your server database, you will need the MySQL setting "Configure the MySQL Server Now" to be checked.

* 3 Troubleshoot MySQL; this may be rather challenging if you are not trained in database or server technologies. There are some common tests you can run that will do an adequate job, however the exact test depends on your setup. If you have trouble, you can always use the forums at the website where you downloaded the software.

* 4 Buy a server running Mac OS X. If you can't seem to get MySQL working on your server, you could just go out and buy a Mac server. These servers come with the software pre-installed and with most of the configuration issues already worked out.
