Installing MySQL Utilities on OSX 10.11 El Capitan

Viewed 3361

Wanted to use mysqldbcopy, which is part of MySQL Utilities. The latest release (mysql-utilities-1.5.6-osx10.9.dmg) appears to be for Mavericks, and attempting to use it results in the warning: "This package is incompatible with this version of OS X and may fail to install." Spoiler alert, it does fail to install.

I found these instructions, which seem promising:

  1. You need Connector/Python installed in your system. Download it from here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/
  2. Download MySQL Utilities source code by selecting "Source Code" from "Select Platform" in http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/utilities/
  3. Follow the instructions of MySQL Utilities installation from source: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-utilities/1.5/en/mysql-utils-install-source.html

I have Python installed, but am a little unclear about step 2. The download options for source code download list only has options for Windows and a few flavors of Linux. Anybody know which one to use?
