Installation of MySQL on macOS for Use with WordPress
#####################################################

Currently MySQL 5.7.18 for macOS 10.12 is installed from a corresponding DMG
file in /local/macos/mysql and obtained from the official MySQL site. The
installation is in /usr/local via a link at /usr/local/mysql. The username
is "root" with password "421oakley", and the database for WordPress is named
"wordpress". These values should be present in the wp-config.php setup file
in the WordPress directory.
