One person's experience with installing mx

need developer's tools install mysql (and startup) - make sure to secure

mkdir src (to make a directory called 'src') cd src (change directory into 'src')

cd ~ vi .bash_login (look for this line: 'export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"' should be at the end of the file (if file exists); if not, hit 'i' to insert, paste the line in there, hit 'escape', then type ':wq') [make sure terminal settings are "Execute this comman (specify complete path):" with '/bin/bash' in the text box open a new terminal and type "echo $PATH"
