If you are installing for the first time:
shell> su root
shell> rpm -ivh mysql-connector-odbc-5.2.2.i386.rpm
If the driver exists, upgrade it like this:

20.1.3.3. Installing Connector/ODBC on Mac OS X
Mac OS X is based on the FreeBSD operating system, and you can normally use the MySQL network
port for connecting to MySQL servers on other hosts. Installing the Connector/ODBC driver lets you
connect to MySQL databases on any platform through the ODBC interface. If your application requires
an ODBC interface, install the Connector/ODBC driver. Applications that require or can use ODBC (and
therefore the Connector/ODBC driver) include ColdFusion, Filemaker Pro, 4th Dimension and many
other applications.
Mac OS X includes its own ODBC manager, based on the
administration tool that provides easier administration of ODBC drivers and configuration, updating the
underlying
iODBC
For Connector/ODBC 5.x, the package is provided as a compressed tar archive that you manually
install.
In either case, the driver is designed to work with the iODBC driver manager included with Mac OS X.
To install Connector/ODBC 5.x:
1. Download the installation file for the appropriate level of Mac OS X (10.5 or higher).
2. Extract the archive:
shell> tar xvzf mysql-connector-odbc-5.x.y-osx10.z-x86-(32|64)bit.tar.gz
