MySQL Doesn’t Install on Mac Yosemite 10.10

How to fix

This website had the fix for me: http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/get-apache-mysql-php-phpmyadmin-working-osx-10-10-yosemite/

Summary was:

1. Download the 64 bit dmg (only 10.9 was available, oddly when unzipped it said 10.8) http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
2. Customize the install and uncheck the startup item
3. Manually start mysql from command line and modify path in profile/bashrc file
