You in this case entered the wrong command: You apparently entered: /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql mysqladmin -u root -p root create depot_development and correctly got an error message from mysql telling you that the options were all screwed up. What you really want is: /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p root create depot_development This will probably work and give you no output message (most Unix/Linux commands are silent on success). Mysqladmin is a standalone command not a subcommand of mysql. You probably should not have to enter the full pathname but it will work.
