brew install mysql@5.7

Install brew services

brew tap homebrew/services

brew services start mysql@5.7

Ensure mysql@5.7 service is running

brew services list -> Output should include mysql@5.7 started

Force link mysql

brew link mysql@5.7 --force

Add mysql to your path (this will allow you to execute the mysql command in your terminal)

echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/mysql@5.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

Verify installation (see above)

Ensure you are able to log in

Try mysql -u root

Case: No pre-set password

If the above command opened up the mysql shell, press ctrl + d to exit the shell, then change your root password (Don't forget it!)

Run mysqladmin -u root password 'your-new-password-here'

Test logging in with your new password by running mysql -u root -p. Enter your password. If you see the mysql shell, you are done installing mysql!

Case: It gives an Access denied message

Check your terminal window at the section that you ran brew install mysql@5.7, and look for a provided password, make a note of it when you find it (If you don't, please flag down a proctor). /Then execute the following command (with a new password) to change your password:/

mysqladmin -u root -p password 'your-new-password-here'

It will prompt for a password. Enter the password that was provided.

Test logging in with your new password by running mysql -u root -p. Enter your password. If you see the mysql shell, you are done installing mysql!
