Hi Michael

After installing, you should read the README file :)

But what you have to do is starting mysqld (or better mysqld-opt).
You can start it as service with --install or as a one time shot with --standalone.

When mysqld is running, you can use the clients (mysqladmin, mysqldump, mysqlshow, mysql
...) to access the mysqlserver as described in the manual.

Tschau
