Thanks for sharing. Just used the commands because I have my data symlinked.
Edit: do note your sql server will end up in strict sql mode. You have to manually disable it.

Thank a lot. I'm rushing on a project and just found my local MAMP with mysql 5.5. doesn't support the geo spatial functions i need.
This saved my time!!!

it got stuck in first rsync - What should I do?

thanks! that worked perfectly

After running this script, I can't launch mamp anymore.

This is error message:

any idea how to fix?
Thanks

This worked well, BUT with a few alterations.

1. It didn't work when running as a script - I had to run each step manually.
2. I had to append --force to mysql_upgrade

Thanks for this.

Hi

I tried the above running each step manually on mac. I also appended --force to mysql_upgrade. However, I received the following warning message on my phpmyadmin

Warning in ./libraries/dbi/DBIMysqli.class.php#258

You might need to run the commands separately and refer to your correct path and mysql version. I did the following after manually downloading and installing mysql 5.7 (It appears under System preferences)

I ran the following commands.
cd to the location of your new mysql installation . i.e

cd /usr/local/
sudo rsync -av mysql/bin/* /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/ --exclude=mysqld_multi --exclude=mysqld_safe
sudo chmod -R o+rw  /Applications/MAMP/db/mysql56/
sudo chmod -R o+rw  /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql56/
sudo chmod -R o+rw  /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/
ln -s /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
sudo chmod -R 777 /Applications/MAMP/db/mysql56
sudo chmod -R 777 /Applications/MAMP/db/mysql56/
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql_upgrade --user=root --password=root --host=localhost --port=3306
