If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/mysql5
%  sudo port install mysql5  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching mysql5
--->  Verifying checksum for mysql5
--->  Extracting mysql5
--->  Configuring mysql5
--->  Building mysql5 with target all

--->  Staging mysql5 into destroot

--->  Installing mysql5

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using mysql5 with these commands:

%  man mysql5
%  apropos mysql5
%  which mysql5
%  locate mysql5
