Unable to install MySQL manuals to Mac


This question is based on the thread.

I downloaded the manuals as the file "v5.1 (Maria) TGZ". I moved the file to /usr/share/man/. I could not access the manuals by

man mysqlbug

The .tar.gz -file has these files which do not include README

comp_err.1
innochecksum.1
make_win_bin_dist.1
msql2mysql.1
my_print_defaults.1
myisam_ftdump.1
myisamchk.1
myisamlog.1
myisampack.1
mysql.1
mysql.server.1
mysql_config.1
mysql_convert_table_format.1
mysql_find_rows.1
mysql_fix_extensions.1
mysql_fix_privilege_tables.1
mysql_install_db.1
mysql_secure_installation.1
mysql_setpermission.1
mysql_tzinfo_to_sql.1
mysql_upgrade.1
mysql_waitpid.1
mysql_zap.1
mysqlaccess.1
mysqladmin.1
mysqlbinlog.1
mysqlbug.1
mysqlcheck.1
mysqld.8
mysqld_multi.1
mysqld_safe.1
mysqldump.1
mysqldumpslow.1
mysqlhotcopy.1
mysqlimport.1
mysqlmanager.8
mysqlshow.1
mysqlslap.1
perror.1
replace.1
resolve_stack_dump.1
resolveip.1

I copied the files to /usr/share/man/mysql. However, I could not access the manual by the keyword mysql.

Where should I put the files such that I can access them by Man?

How can you install MySQL manuals to OS X Leopard?


Solution

  • The .1 suffix indicates the files go in section 1 of the manual. You'll need to make sure you move the files to /usr/share/man/man1 and that /usr/share/man is in your MANPATH environment variable (it should be already).
