Installing MySQL gem for Rails bundler on Mac Silicon

gistfile1.txt

# Install rails, mysql, etc by homebrew using this guide https://gorails.com/setup/macos/10.14-mojave - but if you require mysql and can't upgrade to Trilogy, this is required (and not in the guide at time of writing)

# With credit to Chris Oliver @excid3 at Go Rails

mysql_version=$(brew list --versions mysql | tr ' ' '\n' | tail -1)
mysql_path=$(brew --cellar mysql)/$mysql_version

gem install mysql2 -- \
--with-mysql-lib=$mysql_path/lib \
--with-mysql-dir=$mysql_path \
--with-mysql-config=$mysql_path/bin/mysql_config \
--with-mysql-include=$mysql_path/include
