MySQL Workbench for OSX. No utilities available

Question

I'm trying get MySQL and Workbench running on my Mac.

Workbench installed just fine, but when I try to run MySQL utilities, I get an error saying that "The command line MySQL utilities could not be located".

But when I go to the download page, there is no version available for Mac.

I have already installed MySQL community server by using the .dmg installer.

Please help, anyone who has installed MySQL workbench on a Mac recently.

(P.S. - I'm running OSX 10.9, if it matters).

Thanks!

Answer 1

The utilities are available now for Mac OS 10.6 (under previous GA versions) to 10.9:

Answer 2

You have to build it and install from source code

1. Download (Linux - Generic) and install Connector/Python first

   $ tar -xvf mysql-connector-python-1.0.12.tar.gz
   $ cd mysql-connector-python-1.0.12
   $ sudo python setup.py install
   

2. Download (Platform Independent) and install MySQL Utilities

   $ tar -xvf mysql-utilities-1.3.5.tar.gz 
   $ cd mysql-utilities-1.3.5/
   $ python ./setup.py build
   $ sudo python ./setup.py install
   

And voila you get yourself MySQL Utilities

$ /usr/local/bin/mysqluc -e "help utilities"
Launching console ...
