Fog Creek Software has collected this list of tips, tutorials, and links to help you install the software packages that are required by FogBugz for Mac. In some cases we provide links to outside web sites, for which we cannot be responsible. Please email us if you find any broken links or if you have any additional tips we can add to this page.
If you are using Mac OS X Leopard, please read this guide on installing FogBugz on Leopard. In particular, the entropy library that we otherwise recommend does not appear to be updated to work with Leopard, and therefore we explain how to use MacPorts instead.

A great source of Unix server software for Macintosh OS X:
MySQL can be installed from
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303225 provides advice on how to improve MySQL performance on versions of Mac OS X Server before 10.4.7.
PHP with IMAP can be installed from
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/
Warning: After installing this version of PHP you may also still have the default Apple install of PHP on your system. Please make sure that when you type 'which php' it is using the entropy installed PHP (under /usr/local/php) and that your httpd.conf is using the entropy installed libphp4.so (under /usr/local/php).
