#IDEFRAG WIKI ZIP FILE#Now onto the diva distro part! Yay!?įirst, I unpacked the zip file to a folder. I already have the directory aliased per the DMG installer and don’t think I will need the extra command line aliases so skipping that. It says “Starting MySQL database server” - all looks hunky-dory so far. Sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start oh, it doesnt work on a intel based mac, great □ right clicks it on the system prefs, removes it. Runs the MySQLstartitem.pkg … typed password, clicked blah blah blah, done.ĭouble-clicks the mySQL pref pane thingy. I guess I will go ahead and do both for now. #IDEFRAG WIKI INSTALL#Should I install the startup Item? Hmm… SQL pref pane? Hmm… Well I am just doing this instal as a test, not sure if I really need to start it up each time the computer boots up, but it’s easy enough to change later. STEP 2 AGAIN (still not correct, we’ll find out why in a sec)įirst I ran the MySQL 5.5.8 community installer package, typed my password and away it went. ![]() #IDEFRAG WIKI ARCHIVE#Yeah, that’s more of what I am looking for! (deletes other archive and directory. OOPS, well I already did this when I unpacked it from the GUI… looking at the next series of commands… Hmm… yeah, I got a better idea, instead of mucking with the command line let me just find some pre-configured installer and run that … (searches … finds something) Shell> ln -s full-path-to-mysql-VERSION-OS mysql Perhaps the OS X preferences aren’t really telling me everything that is there? no wait, it says the user is already there with that name so can’t create a group. #IDEFRAG WIKI MAC OSX#OOPS, of course, this doesn’t work in Mac OSX so I will use the System preferences pane to do this. STEP 2 – INSTALL (this wasn’t quite right, scroll down for more.)įollowing the MySQL install-binary document I opened up a terminal window and typed in my commands… #IDEFRAG WIKI MAC OS X#I unpacked the MySQL tarball to a directory and stuck it in /usr/local/mysql but didn’t touch the Diva ZIP file yet, so I guess at this point I am ready to install (I had to give permissions to the directory since it seems by default Mac OS X doesn’t have write access there from that level of the GUI) Stuff like wifi (which isnt about wireless internet) is included in Diva Distro so I am looking forward to that. Next, I downloaded the Diva distro package from github, currently this is in the D2 directory, even though it wasn’t updated since Sept 2010 I am told this is the latest build? Ok, so off I went and got the “diva-r13981.zip” file as well she had a nice IAR so I grabbed that while I was there. Since I am on a MacBook Pro with a Intel Duo Core CPU, and I am running 10.5.x of the OS, I got mysql-5.5.8-osx10.5-x86_64 (the 64 means its a 64bit version, just like my Mac is). So, first thing I did was download MySQL. I already had Mono installed but not MySQL, and I already had OpenSim 0.6.5 installed, but we would be going to a newer build for the Diva Distribution (most likely… a 0.7x build I would guess) ![]() Off the top of my head, I am not so experienced with using MySQL on the Mac with OpenSimulator, so this will be a new experience for me, and I will just blog away my experience as the installation goes.įirst, I had to download a few things. NET routines, and hence breaks SQLlite which OpenSimulator uses by default… one workaround is to use a different database provider, and MySQL is one of those free databases I could use on Mac, so here I am… I wanted to have a stable standalone which was grid-accessible, and one way to do that would be to enable hypergrid - after some research I found that the diva distribution includes this as well some other useful bits, and runs on Mac OS X using MySQL as the database (since Mono still has some database library problems with the new. Of course, other grids that are going to the later 0.7 build are running into the same problems, but that’s misnomer for the topic of this blog post … I had been using an earlier OpenSimulator build in standalone, and then into the OSgrid build of OpenSimulator (with a few caveats), but was largely dissapointed with some aspects of the 0.7 build and some current issues OSgrid is having with it. ![]() Today I went about downloading and installing the Diva Distro on my Mac.
