Installing db-mysql - mysql

Question

I just started getting into node.js and want to use node.js together with my existing PHP/MySQL stack running on MAMP.
Problem: My existing data are already in the MySQL database that starts with MAMP, and I want to access them from node.js. I have decided on using db-mysql driver and so to install it, I specified my MYSQL_CONFIG environment by typing in the terminal
export MYSQL_CONFIG=/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql_config
npm install db-mysql
Then comes the error messages:
> db-mysql#0.7.6 install /Users/x/mywebsite/node_modules/db-mysql
> node-waf configure build

Where did I go wrong? Or is there a better way to setup db-mysql?

Answer 1

Went with node-mysql works great
