Getting Started with 'Terminal' - MUST READ Before You Start Programming
Programmers use 'Terminal' to issue commands, instead of the graphical user interface - which is meant for common users.
You MUST have some basic knowledge on using the Terminal and the file system. Read 'Unix Survival Guide for Mac & Ubuntu - Terminal, File System and Users'.

Programming Text Editors for Mac
TextEdit for Mac
TextEdit (the default text editor in Mac OS X) is NOT a programming text editor, as it lacks features like syntax highlighting. I strongly suggest you install a programming text editor.
To use TextEdit to write source file, you need to open a new file ⇒ choose 'Format' ⇒ 'Make Plain Text'.
You can open an existing file in TextEdit from Terminal by issuing:
nano (or pico) Command-line Text Editor
nano is a GNU text editor that is available for Unix Systems (including Mac OS X), that is suitable for creating/editing small files. To start nano, open a Terminal and issue:
You can run nano with superuser (for accessing restricted directories), as follows:
JEdit for Mac
jEdit is a popular open-source cross-platform (Mac, Windows, Linux) programming text editor. The mother site is http://www.jedit.org.

How to Install MySQL 5.6 on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
Install MySQL using the DMG Package
Reference: 'Installing MySQL on Mac OS X' @ http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/macosx-installation.html.
Step 1: Download and Install MySQL
Download the MySQL 'DMG Archive':
Install Mysql 5.7 Mac Catalina
- Go to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/. In platform, select the 'Mac OS X'.
- Select the appropriate 'DMG Archive' for your specific Mac OS version:
- Click the Apple logo ⇒ 'About this Mac' to check your Mac OS version.
- Read http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3696 to check if your OS is 32-bit or 64-bit.
- Click 'No thanks, just start my download'.
To install MySQL:
- Go to 'Downloads' ⇒ Double-click '
.dmg
' file downloaded. - Double-click '
mysql-5.5.{xx}-osx10.x-xxx.pkg
' ⇒ Follow the instructions to install MySQL. Click continue if 'unindentified developer' warning dialog appeared. - MySQL will be installed in '
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.{xx}-osx10.x-x86_xx
' directory. A symbolic link '/usr/local/mysql
' will be created automatically to the MySQL installed directory. - Eject the '.
dmg
' file.
Step 2: Configuring MySQL - Change TCP Port Number for MySQL Server
- The default TCP port number used by MySQL Server is 3306.
- [For novices: SKIP THIS STEP to run the MySQL Server on port 3306. Goto Step 3.]
You can change the port number by editing the configuration file 'my.cnf
' at directory '/usr/local/mysql
'. To create this file, open a new 'Terminal' and run the 'nano' editor using this command: Modify the lines in green and add in the lines in red; and press ctrl-X to exit. (We use the 'nano' editor in this case, you can use any text editor, but run in superuser.)
Notes: On Unix/Mac, the MySQL read the options file in this order: '/etc/my.cnf
', 'SYSCONFDIR/mf.cnf
', '$MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf
', '~/.my.cnf
'.
Step 3: Start/Shutdown the MySQL Server
Open a new 'Terminal' and issue these commands to start the MySQL server:
To shutdown the server, start a new terminal and issue:
Step 4: Start/Stop a MySQL Client
Open a new 'Terminal' and issue this command to start a MySQL client with superuser root
:
To terminate the client, issue command 'exit
' (or 'quit
') from the 'mysql>
' prompt:
Brew Install Mysql Mac Catalina
Notes:
Install Mysql Mac Catalina Software
- You can use 'Activity Monitor' (under Applications/Utilities) to check if the MySQL Server is running. Look for process starting with
mysqld
. - The log messages are written to
/usr/local/mysql/data/xxx.err
, wherexxx
denotes your machine name. Issue 'sudo cat /usr/local/mysql/data/xxx.err
' to view the messages. - If you get the following error message when starting a client: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '....', check your 'Activity Monitor' to see if the MySQL server has been started.
Step 5: (For Java Programmers) Install MySQL JDBC Driver
- Download the latest JDBC driver from http://www.mysql.com/downloads ⇒ MySQL Connectors ⇒ Connector/J ⇒ Compressed TAR archive (e.g.,
mysql-connector-java-{5.x.xx}.tar.gz
, where{5.x.xx}
is the latest release number). - Double-click on the downloaded TAR file to expand into folder '
mysql-connector-java-{5.x.xx}
'. - Open the expanded folder. Copy the JAR file '
mysql-connector-java-{5.x.xx}-bin.jar
' to JDK's extension directory at '/Library/Java/Extension
'.
How to Uninstall and Remove MySQL 5
- Open a Terminal ⇒ Run the '
nano
' editor to edit/etc/hostconfig
, as follows: Delete this line if present: 'MYSQLCOM=-YES-
'. Press cntl-x to exit 'nano' and enter 'Y' to save the file. The line 'MYSQLCOM=-YES-
' starts MySQL automatically during startup. - Make sure that MySQL is not running (Open the 'Activity Monitor' under the 'Applications/Utilities', and check for the process '
mysqld
'). Open a Terminal and issue 'rm -r
' to remove these directories and their sub-directories (with 'f
' indicating no confirmation prompt).
That's all!

How to Install Tomcat 7 on Mac
Step 1: Download and Install Tomcat
- Goto http://tomcat.apache.org ⇒ Download ⇒ Tomcat 7.0 ⇒
7.0.{xx}
(where{xx}
denotes the latest release) ⇒ Binary distribution ⇒ Core. Download the 'tar.gz
' package (e.g., 'apache-tomcat-7.0.{xx}.tar.gz
'). - To install Tomcat:
- Goto '
~/Downloads
', double-click the downloaded TAR file (e.g., 'apache-tomcat-7.0.{xx}.tar.gz
') to expand it into a folder (e.g., 'apache-tomcat-7.0.{xx}
').(Notes for Advanced Users) Alternatively, you can use thetar
command to expand the tarball as follow: - Move the extracted folder (e.g., '
apache-tomcat-7.0.{xx}
') to '/Applications
'. - Rename the folder 'tomcat', for ease of use.
- Goto '
(Notes for Advanced Users):
- It is probably better to keep the tomcat in '
/usr/local
' or '/Library'. - Instead of renaming the tomcat's folder, it it better to create a symlink called tomcat as follows:
- For security reason, you should not run Tomcat as root user. Instead, assign Tomat to user nobody (of group nobody):
Step 2: Configure Tomcat Server
Read 'Configure Tomcat Server'.
Step 3: Start the Tomcat Server
To start the Tomcat server, open a new 'Terminal' (Go ⇒ Utilities ⇒ Terminal) and issue:
Check for the Tomcat server's TCP port number from the console messages. The default is 8080.
To verify if the Tomcat server is started, start a browser (Safari) and issue URL http://localhost:8080
, suppose that Tomcat is running on the default TCP port number of 8080.
Also try URL http://localhost:8080/examples
which shows the Servlet/JSP examples.
Step 4: Shutdown the Tomcat Server
To shutdown the Tomcat server, you can simply press control-c (NOT command-c) on the tomcat console, or issue command:
Step 5: Servlet API
To write Java servlets, you need to COPY the Servlet API JAR file ('servlet-api.jar
') from '/Applications/tomcat/lib
' to the JDK's extension directory at '/Library/Java/Extension
'.

Mac's Tips & Tweaks
Root (or Superuser, or Administrator)
In some cases (such as installing software and starting server), you need to be the so-called root
user (or superuser or administrator) of your machine to complete some commands that require high privilege. Put 'sudo
' (superuser do) in front of your command to run the command as root
user, and provide the your password. Only authorized user can issue sudo
command. For example, to start the MySQL server:
