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/mysql3
%  sudo port install mysql3  
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 mysql3
--->  Verifying checksum for mysql3
--->  Extracting mysql3
--->  Configuring mysql3
--->  Building mysql3 with target all

--->  Staging mysql3 into destroot

--->  Installing mysql3

- 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 mysql3 with these commands:

%  man mysql3
%  apropos mysql3
%  which mysql3
%  locate mysql3
