 Keywords:               |       Port:  mysql8
-------------------------+--------------------
 §2.2 of the Mysql reference manual has generic instructions, but being
 spoon-fed the following would have saved me a lot of time spent
 investigating socket-file-related errors.

 {{{
   ~ % cd /opt/local/var/run
 run % sudo mkdir mysql8
 run % sudo chown mysql mysql8
 }}}

 Then do the following (based on §2.2), to initialise the data directory,
 and start the server:

 {{{
 run % cd ../db
  db % sudo mkdir mysql8-files
  db % sudo chown mysql:mysql mysql8-files
  db % sudo chmod 750 mysql8-files
  db % sudo mysqld --initialize --user=mysql
  db % sudo mysqld_safe --user=mysql
 }}}
