Normally the installation of MySQL can be achieved with a single command, which executes a script provided by MacMiniVault :
bash <(curl -Ls http://git.io/eUx7rg)
However, at the time of writing the script is not compatible with OS X El Capitan (10.11)
An alternative to the aforementioned installation script is installing MySQL using Homebrew. This gist assumes you already have Homebrew installed, if not first read the article "Homebrew and El Capitan"
Make sure Homebrew has the latest formulae, so run brew update
first
FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.
