I run a test instance on my OS X machine (currently 10.8.3). I use the
MySQL installer package from dev.mysql.com -- try <
http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.6/mysql-5.6.10-osx10.7-x86_64.dmg/from/http://cdn.mysql.com/

Double-click and run the installer; also double-click the preferences pane
to install that, it makes it easy to start and stop the MySQL server.

This will install the 'mysql' command into /usr/local/mysql/bin so you
might need to add a line like this to your ~/.profile file:

  export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin

Note that you may also need to adjust /etc/php.ini and add a line like:

  mysql.default_socket=/tmp/mysql.sock

for the Apple-provided PHP to see MySQL properly. You may need to stop and
restart the web server after adjusting php.ini.

You'll want <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PdfHandler> to support
upload of PDFs; by default this will rasterize the PDFs for inline display,
so you don't need a browser plugin. The extension depends on some external
Unix programs as mentioned on that page, you should be able to install them
through HomeBrew or MacPorts.
