If one of these tests shows that MySQL is running on your computer, you may move onto
Chapter3 . If MySQL is not running, it may be just that you need to start it. That's covered
in this chapter, at the end of each section for each version of MySQL. Look for the section
related to your distribution of MySQL or MariaDB (e.g., Mac OS X) and skip to the end
of that section to see how to start the daemon. Try then to start it. If it starts, skip to the
end of this chapter and read Post-Installation . There are a few important points made in
that section, in particular some security steps you should follow. If you're unable to start
the daemon, though, read the whole section for the distribution youchoose.
