title: How Update MySQL Version in MAMP PRO v3.4
body: <p><strong>MAMP PRO Mavens,</strong></p>
  
  <p>It appears that (at least my instance of) MAMP PRO v3.4 installed and uses MySQL v5.5.42; although the version of MySQL (Community Server) is v5.7.9.</p>
  
  <p>Would you be so kind as to explain the steps necessary to install and configure MySQL 5.7.9 to run in the MAMP PRO 3.4 environment (<em>e.g.,</em> work with MAMP PRO's installed Apache Server and PHP)?</p>
  
  <p>Many, <em>many</em> thanks!</p>
